The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Vista 64 or W7 64  scsi drivers

Asked by coral47 in Windows 64-bit, Windows 7, Windows Vista

I just got fragged, and looking for a link.


Asus P5K-E
E8400
8GB DDR2-1066 ram (Corsair I think)
620W Corsair PSU

Trying to add an Adaptec ASC-29160LP scsi card this guy wanted to use so he can load W7-64 on it.
Got the card in and it seemed to install in Vista SBS(?), turned system off and hooked up a drive and on reboot it seems the scsi card wanted to be first boot device. It complained the the boot.ini was messed up (he thinks he might have use this setup to play with VSBS on an earlier system, so this is no surprise). Reboot to BIOS, and reset order, but not it will not warm reboot. Cold boot it and get a OC fail message, figured it was the ram resetting to 800MHZ, so left it for the moment, Save/Exit and it still wouldn't warm reboot. Cold reboot.
DEAD.
Nothing, Nada, Zip, This is a Dead Parrot.

Check PSU, good. PSU fan, case fans (hooked to psu) and hard drives spin with 24 pin connector off mobo and jumped. 4 pin Aux still connected to mobo.
A couple of leds on the mobo light up, but no fans, hard drives, or front panel leds when plugged in to mobo.
Ordered new mobo (DFI LanParty) and cpu (Q9550), and video card (ATI 4650?, fan on the ATI 2600 was rattling) -- due in Tues.

Now that everybody is laughing, what I need is if and where I can find the Adaptec ASC-29160LP 64-bit drivers to use for the F6 trick; he still wants to try for the W7 install on it.

Or any other bright idea, bearing in mind he would rather NOT have W7 take over the Vista bootloader.
He also mentioned there was some kind of glitch running W7 Setup from Vista, when he was going to use the extra SATA drive he has installed, which inspired this whole adventure.

I have already been to Adaptec, and have the W2K-XP-W2K3 SP5_S4 and the SP4 versions of the drivers to try. But I figure the way things are going, W7 will choke on them.   : /

Thanks.
