Creating an AHCI Driver Floppy Diskette under Vista

The system board package includes floppy diskettes which are needed
when you install the AHCI driver during Windows Vista installation. If in any
case you lost the diskette, you can create another one by following the
steps below.

1. Insert the provided CD into a CD-ROM drive.

2. The execution files are located in:

drive:>\AHCI_RAID\F6FLOPPY

3. Run f6flpy32.exe (for 32-bit system) or f6flpy64.exe (for 64-bit

system).

4. Insert a blank floppy diskette then click OK.

5. The system will format and write the necessary driver files into the

diskette.
