1. Copy the IRST-x64 or IRST-x86 folder (depending on your OS version) under the Boot folder in the driver

disk to your USB thumb drive.

2. Boot from the Windows setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting

you to load the driver appears, select Browse.

4. When a screen appears, select Intel Chipset SATA RAID Controller and click Next to load the driver and
