Sometimes the easiest solutions is the best. I start without HDs and I can acces to the BIOS

Now I need sata drivers to install Windows 7 64 bits in RAID 1. I try with cd drivers and web drivers and don't work. With 32 bits it works perfectly.

What version of BIOS are you using?  I had similar issues on my X79-UD7 but solved them by upgrading to the latest beta BIOS.  Also, you may notice that a new BIOS just came out for the UD3.  If you're having trouble getting into the BIOS, force your way in by clearing the CMOS.

Beware, installing 64 bit from combo 32/64 bit dvd won't work for 64 bit. You need 64 bit only dvd then the 64 bit raid drivers will work fine.
