Step 1:

Restart your system to boot from the Windows Vista setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps.

When a screen similar to that below appears (RAID/AHCI hard drive(s) will not be detected at this stage),

select Load Driver (Figure 3).

Step 2:

Insert the motherboard driver disk (Method A) or the oppy disk/USB ash drive that contains the SATA RAID/

AHCI driver (Method B), then specify the location of the driver (Figure 4). Note: For users using a SATA opti-

cal drive, be sure to copy the driver les from the motherboard driver disk to a USB ash drive before install-

ing Windows Vista (go to the BootDrv folder and save the whole GSATA folder to the USB ash drive). Then

use Method B to load the driver.

Method A:

Insert the motherboard driver disk into your system and browse to the following directory:

\BootDrv\GSATA\32Bit

For Windows Vista 64-bit, browse to the 64Bit folder.

Method B:

Insert the USB ash drive containing the driver les and browse to \GSATA\32Bit (for Windows Vista 32-bit)

or \GSATA\64Bit (for Windows Vista 64-bit).
