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, select Load Driver. (Figure 3).
Step 2:
Specify the location where the driver is saved, such as your floppy disk or USB flash drive (Figure 4).
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
iMSM foler 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\iMSM\32Bit
For Windows Vista 64-bit, browse to the 64Bit folder.
Method B:
Insert the USB flash drive containing the driver files and browse to the 32Bit (for Windows Vista 32-bit)
or 64Bit (for Windows Vista 64-bit) folder.
