Only for play and find a solution :
I have found in a recycled an old IDE card with 4 * 2 IDE ports LSILogic / DELL CERC ATA100/4p ( used in a PowerEdge DELL Server )
I have found 64 bits drivers no problem , i can see disk mounted with Windows 7 64 bits installed in another normal disk
But , but , but ... if i test to install directly to the CERC / RAID disks connected i cannot
Problem is with unsigned driver ( not exist because obsolete ) and Win7 cannot detect driver / find raid disk to the installation
With WINXP 32 bits i have not this problem ( loading with F6 functionnality can find and install normally )
Have you experience to install ?
That is not important but for the fun

Finally i have found the problem in reality 2 problems !!
1 - Stupid but that is true this card has not the same identifier with some firmware !!
With old firmware that is :
PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0511101E
With last firmware :
PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_05111028
Finally i have flashed with last old version ( with 0511101E ) and i have found 64 bits signed drivers
2 - Next error with WIN7 after loading the good driver is that win7 cannot find a good disk for the installation ( can make partition but not installation )
That is my fault !!
I have not my RAID virtual disk as first boot disk and i not remember that
** win7 cannot make an installation if the first disk in BIOS is a USB removeable disk !! **
Finnaly at this time WIN7 start a normal installation ...
Hope after reboot that WIN7 run fine !!

Glad to hear you have found your problem. I was going to mention about unplugging any external drives, as I had the same problem with my old RAID setup.
