(5) Installing SATA controller driver during OS installation

Now that you have prepared a floppy disk with the SATA driver and adjusted BIOS settings, you can

begin to install Windows 2000/XP onto your SATA hard disk with the SATA driver. This procedure

assumes Windows XP installation.

Step 1: Restart your system to boot from the Windows XP Setup disk and press F6

as soon as you see a message which says "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID

driver." After pressing the F6 key, there will be a few moments of some files being loaded before you

see the next screen for you to specify the SATA controller on your motherboard.

Step 2:

When a screen similar to that below appears, insert the floppy disk containing the SATA driver and press

S to specify the SATA controller (Figure 13). Then you will be asked to select the SATA controller on

your motherboard.
