B. Installing Windows Vista
(The procedure below assumes that only one RAID array exists in your system.)
For the Intel P55:
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 4).

Step 2:
Insert the motherboard driver disk (Method A) or the floppy disk/USB flash drive that contains the driver (Method
B), then specify the location of the driver (Figure 5). 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
iRST
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\iRST\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
\iRST\32Bit
(for Windows Vista 32-bit) or
\
iRST\64Bit
(for Windows Vista 64-bit).
