Installation Tips
1.
Though Windows Vista x64 can recognize the onboard SATA RAID, we
still replace the driver with the one in EasyBUILD. Please make the driver
diskette from the EasyBUILD 8.0 build 100 first before the installation.
2.
Please boot the system form the Windows Vista x64 CD/DVD. Follow the
instructions to do the installation.
3.
When you see the “Where do you want to install Windows?” on the
screen, please insert the driver diskette and click on Load Driver.
4.
Click on OK. You will see the NVIDIA nForce RAID Controller
(A:\nvrd64.inf), NVIDIA nForce RAID Device (A:\nvrd64.inf) and NVIDIA
nForce Serial ATA Controller (A:\nvrd64.inf) listed.
