Making a SATA RAID Driver Diskette
Before installing Windows XP, connect a USB oppy disk drive to your computer rst because you need to install
the SATA RAID/AHCI driver from a oppy disk that contains the driver during the OS installation. To copy the
RAID driver for Windows XP, copy all les in the \BootDrv\SBxxx\x86 folder in the motherboard driver disk to
your oppy disk. (To install Windows 64-bit, copy the les in the x64 folder.)

Restart your system to boot from the Windows XP setup disk and press <F6> as soon as you see the message
"Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver." Insert the oppy disk containing the SATA RAID
driver. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver that suits your operating system. When completed,
proceed with the Windows XP installation.
B. Installing Windows 7/Vista
Restart your system to boot from the Windows 7/Vista setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps.
Select Load Driver. Insert the motherboard driver disk and then browse to the location of the driver. Then follow
the on-screen instructions to load the driver. The locations of the drivers for Windows 7 are as follows:
RAID driver for Windows 32-bit: \BootDrv\SBxxxW7\RAID\W7
RAID driver for Windows 64-bit: \BootDrv\SBxxxW7\RAID\W764A
After loading the driver, continue the OS installation.
