LSI Logic Ultra160 PCI SCSI Adapter 53C1010-66 Device
- I get the following message below
The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue.
- For these items, make the following changes:

- Storage controllers: LSI Logic Ultra160 PCI SCSI Adapter; 53C1010-66 Device
The drivers that I have are the latest drivers and there are no other drivers. Version is 5.9.9.0
Any idea how to solve this. I cannot move forward without a solution .....

- I was able to get a previous version from the HP site for x4000 workstation. Version is 5.9.0.0. And this worked fine.....

- I finally found the solution. The issue was not with the onboard SCSI controller (although I have disabled the onboard SCSI controller and added an Adaptec 39320A which is compatible with windows 7.The issue was to have hyperthreading turned off for the Xeon processors in the bios of the HP x4000 workstation.Once hyperthreading was turned on windows 7 installation continued with no issues.

- Hi jeanfor,
I'm having exactly same issue that you had.
Were you able to install Windows 7 onto SCSI drive with LSI Logic driver v5.9.0.0?
I couldn't make install program to recognize the SCSI driver v5.9.0.0.
Did you uninstall the v5.9.9.0 in Vista and install v5.9.0.0 and then installed Windows 7?
Any help installing Windows 7 on this SCSI drives would be greatly appreciated as I have to throw away SCSI drives otherwise.
Thanks. - I have disabled the onboard lsi u160 and installed an Adpatec 39320A which is supported by windows 7 (hostraid disabled. Hostraid is not supported). I am still having an issue after rebooting and after loading disk.sys

- If you need a solution to install windows on your x4000 please contact me.
- The scsi host adapter drivers need to be added during (Custom) installation when you get to the where do you want to install page (add drivers in blue). Point it to a usb flash drive or floppy with the extracted drivers.
I was able to get an old Precison 530 with onboard AIC intstalled using old drivers. - You are right and I did and this did not seem to solve my problem. Microsoft said it was the controller. So I got a 39360A which is fully supported by windows 7 (They go very cheap...) and found out the same problem. I reviewed my bios settings one more time and saw the Hyperthreading was turned off. This was my real issue. I have Windows 7 up and running and I am very happy. It runs really fast on my HP x4000

- Dear Jeanfor,
I had a deep look at your issue because I have been experiencing the same problem.
In fact, I have an HP XW5000 with the same controller LSI-53C1010-66, and same inconvenience arises.
Do you think the real issue is that bios setting? Is there any possibility I might solve this on my xw5000 as well? Must say I have an INTEL Pentium 4 processor, not a XEON... - 1. Make sure you run the Upgrade Advisor (not the beta, there is a more recent Upgrade Advisor on MS web site). Go carefully though the list of devices that are not supported. LSI should show "not supported". It is OK as long as you have the drivers. Any other devices that are not supported should be removed from the system for the initial installation2. If you want to be able to install the LSI-53C1010-66 successfully, you must have a driver for it.a. Are you upgrading from XP/Vista. What message do you get when you start the installation? Do it get thru the first reboot?b. If you make a clean install you will need the XP or Vista driver for the LSI controller. You can go on the HP site or the LSI site to get the XP driver.3. Check your bios, and see if there is a setting for the processor with the ability to disable or enable Hyper-Threading. If so, make sure Hyper-Threading is on.Keep me posted on your progress.PS If you want to make sure your scsi controller is fully supported by Windows 7 get an Adaptec 39320A (hostraid disabled, hostraid is not supported yet by 7 and adaptec has not decided to make a driver for windows 7). You can find them on auction sites for very cheap. Make sure you do not get a DELL OEM 39320 as they have disabled the option to turn hostraid off. (it is possible to flash the card back to the original adaptec functionality, but the SEEPROM has to be reloaded as well as the original bios flashed)
- alfylink,
Hopefully you can still access the controller on boot. As HP is only showing an LSI driver for LSI-53C1020 & 30 here, (xw5000) perhaps the drivers from LSI for a 53C1010 would work here.
Windows version (ASPI). If you right click and extract the folder it creates a folder with the install utility and files. Put those files on a floppy or usb.
When you boot from the Win 7 dvd (custom install)and it gets to the page no disk available there should be an add drivers option. Point it to those files on the removable storage. When you click ok it should then find the scsi HDD to install.
Let me if that works or what you have tried.
- Dear Jeanfor and Nano Warp,
I thank you very much for your support, but I couldn't solve the problem anyway. There is no possibility to access the controller, either by BIOS either by feeding it with its drivers during the installation process. I think I will renounce to my SCSI hard disk and, since the workstation supports EIDE, I will install an ordinary HDD. This could be a compromise and a workaround to let Win 7 run on my HPXW5000. If I succeed, I'll keep you posted.
