B. Installing Windows Vista

The procedure below assumes that only one RAID array exists in your system. Note: You are not required to

load the SATA AHCI driver rst when installing Windows Vista onto the RAID drives attached to the Marvell

9128 controller.

For the AMD SB710:

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 hard drive will not be detected at this stage), select Load

Driver (Figure 5).

Step 2:

Insert the motherboard driver disk (Method A) or the removable storage device such as USB ash drive that

contains the SATA RAID/AHCI driver (Method B), then specify the location of the driver (Figure 6). Note: For

users using a SATA optical drive, be sure to copy the driver les from the motherboard driver disk to a USB

ash drive before installing Windows Vista (go to the BootDrv folder and save the whole SB7xxV 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\SB7xxV\LH

For Windows Vista 64-bit, browse to the LH64A folder.

Method B:

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

LH64A (for Windows Vista 64-bit) folder.
