5.6Using Makedisk.exe

Important Notes

1.The Makedisk.exe utility enables you to create a floppy disk with the RAID driver necessary when configuring RAID installations.

2.The Makedisk.exe utility for the Promise® SATA 378 driver is located in “\Drivers\Promise\378ATA\Makedisk.exe” of the support CD. Use this utility when the Operating Mode setting in the BIOS is [Onboard IDE Operate Mode] (default).

3.The Makedisk.exe utility for the FastTrak 378 driver is located in “\Drivers\Promise\378RAID\Makedisk.exe” of the support CD. Use this utility when the Operating Mode setting in the BIOS is [RAID] mode.

4.The Makedisk.exe utility for the VIA® RAID driver is located in “\Drivers\VIARAID\6420RAID\DriverDisk\Makedisk.exe” of the support CD. Use this utility when configuring Serial ATA RAID 0 or RAID 1.

A floppy disk with Promise® SATA 378, FastTrak 378 or VIA® RAID driver is required when installing Windows® XP™/ 2000™ or NT™ operating systems. Make sure to create a RAID driver floppy disk using Makedisk.exe utility for the VIA® or Promise® ATA/SATA RAID function before installing your operating system.
