missing hard disk driver can t install vista

I'm having the Asus A8N-SLI SE mobo, trying to install the latest Vista 64Bit Beta. After entering the serial, I'm being ask for a driver disk to submit the hard disk driver - we know this already from WinXP installations - only, that this time none of the drivers I could find on my CD or on the Silicon Image website work (it's a SIi3114 chipset). I'm just using one SATA drive, no RAID.
Many of you must have a similar setup, which I imagine is very commone, so how did you do it? Which driver did you use?
And to Microsoft: why is the BROWSE button unusable? At least I would like to browse a CD rather than copy stuff onto my floppy disk (how old fashioned!) with every new attempt. Takes so much time!!!

How many drives do you have? If you're not using RAID, why don't you have the drive connected to one of the four nVidia SATA ports. NO driver is required for OS setup if you're connected to the nVidia SATA with nVidia RAID disabled in BIOS. I had no trouble installing that way on my A8N-SLI Premium.

Real simple, I assume your using SATA drives. Your A8N-SLI is an nForce 4 board correct? So what you have to do is goto www.nvidia.com goto drivers and select the BETA drivers section. There are Beta drivers for nForce 4 boards for Vista. You extract the files and put the nvraid, not SIlimages, on a CD and use those when Vista prompts. The URL is:

For 64bit http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_downloads_nforce_vista_x64_beta2.html
