About this tag
Discussions about Adaptec hardware RAID and SCSI controllers in Windows environments, particularly during upgrades from older Windows versions to Windows 7. Common issues include driver compatibility for 64-bit systems, installation failures due to unsupported Adaptec drivers, and migration from hardware RAID-1 to single disks. Users share workarounds such as using alternative drivers from Adaptec or third-party disk management tools. Topics also cover SCSI adapters for legacy peripherals like scanners and TV cards, with emphasis on finding 64-bit drivers for older Adaptec models.
