Edit: This is great, now Intel suddenly released a brand new driver to fix most of the issues with RAID and Vista! good timing eh?

I just tested it out and now my installation is working better.

I originally thought it got rid of the issue completely but it would appear that it still happens from time to time, even after deleting the Parameters registry info for iaStor(v).

Anyone here trying to also install Vista onto ICH9R RAID-0 setup? I'm thinking the latest Intel Matrix Storage drivers are problematic because I slipstreamed my ISO with the latest 7.6 release using vLite and I seem to be experiencing iaStor and iaStor0 time out issues, causing BSOD's and all the rest.

It seems this problem is not limited to the ICH9R controller either, lots of people are in the same situation.

There are a few other interesting articles relating to this also.

Guess this was the reason for me thinking that my OC was being bottlenecked by temps, but I can see now that it was the f£$%ing sh!7 Intel drivers. haha.

Oh well, it's good to know there is a fix at least... I'll post tomorrow if it is successful, gonna quickly re-install my borked Vista.
