Adaptec 1430 RAID

I have 4 disks, 2 in a raid off the adaptec controller, 1 JBOD simple volume
off the adaptec controller and 1 off the motherboard boot disk (c:), Vista
went on smoothly and found my raid set (D:) no problem. BUT it insists on a
driver for the JBOD disk. Storage manger (adaptecs) see all the disks fine,
but Disk manager (windows) will not see the disk. Device manager sees the
disk as "Other devices". All firmware on all devices is current along with
drivers. Surley a disk added to system doesnt need drivers esp. if its all
internal ?!
With RAID disks off a controller, the disks are all controlled by the
hardware, which presents the logical devices to the operating system. If it
can see one RAID set why not the other? I've tried all combinations of ports
to no avail.

And if I move this disk to be connected the motherboard like the boot disk,
then I have exactly the same problem. Device manager sees it as Other deivces.
I tried low level format, tradional format, Zero format from the
manufactures util.
All Diags pass fine.

So is this a Vista 64 problem, an Adaptec driver / firmware issue, or a MSI
K9n Platinum issue??????

Can anyone help on this matter?

RE: Adaptec 1430 RAID

Well it seems I've answered my own quesion!

c:\windows\inf\INFCACHE.1

rename / move or delete it and the job is sorted!

dont forget to set security permissionproperties to allow all for users on
this file first!
