Why do you install the RST Sofware at all? The installation is onlyuseful for RAID systems.

I beleive this is a temporary problem with installation. In some case I can't install software any more.
Probably this is a 3-rd party problem I can't indicate for a while.

I can check my Win10 OS also on separate NVMe SSD and try to install both IRST parts. This Win10 installation not so old as Win8.1 (and not so dirty).

Everything is OK on Win10 (Driver & Soft).

On Win8.1 I can't see "Ignore" button stage (as it happen usually). Setup just closing and nothing is happen.
But don't worry, your pack is healthy. This is my local problem on Win8.1, I'll find why it's stuck later by my own.

So, I think now you can publish your newly modded pack. Thank you for your support and time!

guys can you give me some tips/info, something. I'm loosing my mind with a Win7x64 installation on my friends PC.
It's core2duo on Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6. I tried using IDE mode (instead of AHCI). I tried intel SATA and gigabyte SATA connectors. I tried loading many drivers from your first page. I tried loading drivers from mainboard original CD. nothing works. I can see the HDD, I can create partitions using win or using diskpart but every time I get that stupid message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition...".
I tried another win7 version also, both 32 and 64bit. I installed many win7 in the past and always I managed to fix the problem by just loading the SATA driver.
thx.

No "added" drivers needed for Win7 install on X38-DQ6. Use a clean non-modified Win7 install ISO, in case something in the one you are using now is broken or messed up.

You can install, update etc Intel or these drivers here in thread post OS install if you want

If you want the 100MB recovery partition created by windows then delete all partitions (ie have raw drive), select disk and let windows do it's thing.
If you want to create entire drive as C with no 100MB hidden partition, delete all partitions, create your own using entire drive, select that partition and click next/install.

If you are setting up an SSD, and partition is not created or aligned, then create and align partition using diskpart first from tools/command prompt, then select that partition during install only and click next
Do not create/delete partitions with the windows install dialog box, use cmd prompt and diskpart from the tools menu before you get the to installer disk selection screen, reboot to do that if you need to

Connect main OS drive to SATAII0 (First yellow port) on top in separate block of two yellow


Set BIOS to AHCI & Native enabled here


Then save and reboot to BIOS again, then as seen below, enter this section and move main OS HDD/SSD to top of this list inside there.

wov, thank you for this.
In the last hour I finaly was able to do it using original Win7x64 disk and that command Xcopy and copied setup files on 2nd HD partition I created. later when in win I use CMD to delete that setup so I don't get option black screen when booting.
It's set up as AHCI, but I had to use gigabyte SATA controler. everything boots normally into OS now so I presume that's it.
what I'm unsure of is the current controler I'm using similar/same, perfomanse wise cos I don't want to touch anything any more if I don't have to cos I already wasted alot of time just to run the installation.
thanks.

Gigabyte (J.Micron controller) is poor performance, don't use that for OS. Personally I would toss that install and do it again right, and now so you don't end up wanting to do it later. No, it's not same at all, terrible for performance and stability, best only used as a last SATA port reserve, for backup or CD

You may be able to simply move the drive over to the correct port now though, I can't remember (again, still no drivers needed, unless you want to update/install Intel ones later)
Make these changes in the registry first, then shut down and move the drive to the port I show above, then make changes in sequence I mentioned above (Set Intel AHCI/Native, reboot and move OS HDD to top of the boot priority list where I show in image)

Enable switching between all IDE/AHCI/RAID modes by changing "Start" Values in these keys to 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci\Start
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide\Start
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV\Start

I'll try and let you know.
thank you for your help.

You're welcome!

no luck.
did as you wrote. 1st 2 lines in reg where already on 0. 3rd one was on 3. I change it. turn off pc. switched sata cable to SATA0. turn on, bios, set your settings and after that I get "BOOTMGR is missing press"...

edit:
you think I should try reinstalling now using these bios settings?
I really don't wont to spend much needed time if I could get in the same problem when start from 0.

edit2:
there is something very wrong with this PC it seems to me.
I tried recover thrue win7 CD. It says it found error and after secessuful repair and restart, again BOOTMBR error.

It's seems that this PC whatever option chosen doesn't want to see properly the drive connected thrue intel SATA.
the drive in question is kingston a400 but I don't think it matter.

the drives are always visible during boot when performing all those boot processes.

v16.5.1.1030 works very well on my HM67 platform with Win 10 64-bit.

You can either run repair and get to console and run fixboot + Fix MBR, or redo the install properly on those ports as I initially outlined. Yes, I really do think and know you will have better performance and stability on the Intel ports vs the J.Micron ports (Especially since this is SSD)

Do a clean install, how I originally mentioned, it's Win7 it will only take 10 minutes or less. Since this is SSD, be sure to install to an aligned partition.
If you are not sure how to do that here is how, using diskpart from repair options before you get to the choose disk screen (after doing this, you may need to reboot to get back to the install/choose disk area, once there do nothing except select this aligned partition and click next/install)
