Vista x64 Ultimate NOT INSTALLING. HELP!

[Mechromancer]

I'm trying to install Vista x64 on 4x30GB OCZ Solid Series SSDs on an Areca 1210 hardware RAID card. The installation completes copying all the setup files and then goes for it's first reboot. Upon getting to the boot menu it says I don't have Winloader.exe or something. I tried installing from the Vista disk after bootup AND from Windows XP. Both have the same problem after booting.

Have any of you ever experienced this and do you know of a solution? Thank you for your help in advance.

Card up to latest firmware, transport, etc.? Earlier firms won't work well with SSDs.

Yes. I loaded up the RAID drivers and it detected the drives and the capacity correctly. The repair still FAILED.

Will check the firmware and let you know. Thank you both for your quick replies.
