I have an Intel D945GNT system board with Intel cpu and four SATA drives attached configured under Intel Matrix Storage Manage/Rapid Storage Technology as two RAID 1 pairs running under Windows XP Pro 32 bit.
The Intel RST was installed using the F6 floppy method when installing Windows XP.
Recently, I have repartitioned the system disc to create a a dual-boot environment with the addition of a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit partition.
I then installed Windows 7 without using the F6 floppy installation method and this seemed to go well with the RAID system apparently working.
However, I rather miss the Windows Intel RST interface that I had under Windows XP as this isn't currently present when booting from the in the Windows 7 partition.
What is the best way to install this interface?
I have been looking at the latest downloads and note that Intel RST 13.2.4.1000 is listed as the latest and suitable for Windows 7 - should I try installing this using the SetupRST.exe associated with that download as a means of installing the Windows RST interface? And, if I do, will it helpfully update the current RST without destabilising operations under the Windows XP partition?
Any comments would be appreciated.
