Attempting to reinstall Windows 10 encounters issues with driver loading during setup.
You're attempting to reinstall Windows 10 after a RAID card failure, but the setup disc isn't loading the storage driver from your USB stick. The card is recognized, yet the error appears in the screenshot. You mentioned using drivers directly from Broadcom and have tried several versions without success. It seems the issue lies in the driver compatibility or installation process. Consider checking if the USB stick is properly seated, trying a different USB port, or consulting Broadcom's support for RAID 9560-16i drivers. If the problem persists, you might need to explore alternative installation methods or contact technical support for further assistance.
I remember problems with Windows 7, though it's been a long time. First, remove any disks connected that contain data you don't want to lose. A few things to verify: 1. Have you created a new raid volume in the controllers config with all your disks? If not, you should either import them from another compatible RAID controller or set up a new RAID. 2. It might be that the system isn't recognizing a usable volume. After encountering the error, press Shift + F10 to open the command prompt. Type "diskpart" then "list disks". Do you see anything? If a disk appears as 0, select it and run "clean" to erase all existing volumes (for instance if Linux was already installed). Then restart the installation; Windows should detect it after loading the driver and allow you to partition it. 3. Consider using a different driver—something from Windows 7 or 8 might work better. 4. Ensure you're receiving the correct x64 drivers, as this confirms your Windows 10 is an x64 installation.
The RAID volume was configured and all connected drives were attached to the card. The volume appears functional, successfully booting and running the Linux installation. I attempted the diskpart procedure you suggested to delete all partitions on the array, then restarted, but the issue persisted with the same error. The Windows 10 ISO and drivers are confirmed to be 64-bit versions.
