Windows 7 Re-Install

$

Need to re-install the OS on my Aurora R4 - when Windows 7 install starts up it mentions it cannot find a hard drive, and to install the drivers to continue.

I can find any drivers on the Windows 7 Alienware DVD or the Resource CD that came with the product. Have tried all the drivers listed on the Dell Alienware website after using my Service Tag. The closest I have gotten is it finds a driver from the download of the website but errors out with:

"The Intel C600 Series Chipset SATA Raid Controller device driver could not be installed"

So unfortunately I cannot get any closer then starting the install since it cannot find a hard drive.

Any ideas what the correct driver is to recognize the hard drive? The storage controller mentioned it is a an Intell C600 but none of the drivers on the dell website work, the link on Dell's howto - http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/ca/en/cadhs1/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&docid=549172 on the seciton for RAID leads to a dead link (how useful!!!!) and Alienware's support is not available and I give up calling them after wasting multiple hours just trying to get someone to answer thier phone!

Thanks in advance to any help offered!
