If you will be moving the boot drive containing the existing Windows 2000/XP operating system to a
mirrored RAID 1 array on the controller, the controller driver MUST be loaded to the hard drive
while it is still attached to your existing hard drive controller. Do not attach this drive or any other
hard drive to the controller before completing this step.

“New Hardware Found” dialog box. Under Windows 2000/XP, the “PCI RAID Controller” will be
displayed.

storage devices – “Win2000 Promise FastTrak100™-Lite Controller” (“Windows XP Promise

entered into the Windows 2000/XP driver database.

[Yes] to restart the system. Windows 2000/XP will then restart for the driver installation to take
