Installing the RAID drivers

To install Windows 2000/XP onto a Serial ATA hard disk sucessfully, you need to install required driver for the SATA 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 SATA controller on your motherboard from the motherboard driver CD to a floppy disk. See the instructions below about how to copy the driver.

Step 1: Find an available Operation System and insert the motherboard driver CD into the CD-ROM drive. The installation utility will appear automatically soon after you insert the driver CD. Quit the installation utility first. Insert a blank formatted floppy disk into the floppy disk drive.

Step 2: Go to My Computer and right-click the CD-ROM icon (This procedure assumes Drive D) and select Open. Then you will see folders and files contained in the driver CD. Double-click the BootDrv folder icon and select MENU.exe (refer to Fig.1).

Step 3:

A MS-DOS prompt screen will appear. Information on all chipsets should be listed on the screen (Refer to Fig.2), please select the proper chipset model.

Your system will then automatically zip and transfer this driver file to the floppy disk.

After you complete the steps, boot from the Windows CD to install the RAID drivers.

When install Windows 2000 or Windows XP from HDDs in serial ATA controller, press F6 as Win2000 or XP boots up, then supply serial ATA controller driver by this floppy disk. Follow on-screen instructions to complete installation.

(Each time you add a new hard drive to a RAID array, the RAID driver will have to be installed under Windows once for that hard drive. After that, the driver will not have to be installed.)

(Note) In the menu list, IAA_RAID is Intel ICH5R chipset.
