    I am using raid on the x79 ud7. On install where you would normally pick your array for install the box is empty. I had to load the smaller driver on top here with a usb, just hit the load drivers tab and direct it to the usb stick.

      Win 7 or Win XP? Which driver you installed? Are those drives in AHCI mode?

              try loading optimized defaults in the bios and just set intel sata3 ports to ahci mode and try installing win7,it should find all drivers for you? plug ssd into first sata 3 port

              disconnect all other drives apart from dvd rom drive,plug that into last sata2 port,then set disk priority as dvd rom first,ssd second,when windows has installed swap them so that dvd rom is second and ssd is first in the boot order

                Re: Gigabyte X79 UD-7 Problem

                Tryed every port on the motherboard.. with intel in ahci mode i find the bluray without having to add drivers but still dont find SSD.. Had no problems when i used SSD on my Gigabyte UD9 mobo.. So its something wrong with the UD7 or maybe corsair need a new firmware.. idk..

                  tried it in ide mode in the bios? can always switch to ahci later with a reg tweak,tried with native sata port 0-3 on or off? cant think of what else you can try,i dont think its an ssd firmware problem

                      could try cloning the hdd/windows install to your ssd just to see if it boots up when cloned? could still be either ssd problem or mb bios problem

                      heres good freeware program and guide to cloning hdd to ssd

                          Hello xRisenx,
                          I had this same issue with an X58 Extreme board, it would not recognize the destination drive and wanted a driver for the source drive.
                          I ended up installing off a USB memory stick which let me unplug everything but the SSD I was intalling to.
