#### Common Issues

##### Host / Controller not being detected

The most likely Issue is that the Controller Driver is out of Date.

1. Open Windows Device Manager (Windows-Key+X → Device Manager)
2. Go to “Storage Controllers” and look for *AVAGO MegaRAID \[…\]*
3. Double-Click and go to Details
4. Select Property *Hardware-IDs* and use the first one to search for the correct Drive

You most likely get the Driver without a Installer. For the Installation [see here](https://kb.oliver-karger.de/books/utilities/page/manage-drivers-with-pnputil "Manage Drivers with pnputil")
