B. Installing Windows Vista

(The procedure below assumes that only one RAID array exists in your system.)

Step 1:

Restart your system to boot from the Windows Vista setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps. When a screen similar to that below appears (RAID hard drive will not be detected at this stage), select Load Driver (Figure 3).

Figure 3

Step 2:

Insert the motherboard driver disk (Method A) or the floppy disk/USB flash drive that contains the SATA RAID/AHCI driver (Method B), then specify the location of the driver (Figure 4). Note: For users using a SATA optical drive, be sure to copy the driver files from the motherboard driver disk to a USB flash drive before installing Windows Vista (go to the BootDrv folder and save the whole SB750V folder to the USB flash drive). Then use Method B to load the driver.

Method A:

Insert the motherboard driver disk into your system and browse to the following directory:

\BootDrv\SB750V\LH

For Windows Vista 64-bit, browse to the LH64A folder.

Method B:

Insert the USB flash drive containing the driver files and browse to the LH (for Windows Vista 32-bit) or LH64A (for Windows Vista 64-bit) folder.
