(4) Making a IDE RAID controller driver disk

To install Windows 2000/XP onto a IDE hard disk on the VT6410 controller successfully, you need to

install required driver for the IDE RAID controller on your motherboard during OS installation. Without the

driver, the hard disk may not be recognized during the Windows setup process.

First of all, you have to copy the driver for the IDE RAID controller from the motherboard driver CD to

a floppy disk. The instructions below explain how to copy the driver.

Step 1: Find an available system and insert the motherboard driver CD into the CD-ROM drive. The

installation utility will appear automatically. Quit the installation utility first.

Step 2: Go to My Computer and right-click the CD-ROM icon (this procedure assumes Drive D) and

select Open (Figure 14).

Then you should see folders and files contained in the driver CD. Go to the BootDrv folder and look for

a file named MENU.exe.
