If you lost or damaged the SATA Driver Disk that came with the package, use the NVRaid
Floppy Disk to create another one.

To create a driver disk:

Click on the [ABIT Utility] tab in the installation menu screen.

Click the [Generate NVRaid Floppy Disk[32bit]]. The following screen appears:

Insert one blank floppy disk to the selected floppy drive and click [Build].

Click [OK] to finish building the SATA Driver Disk.
