Step 3:
When Setup correctly recognizes the Intel ICH9R SATA RAID/AHCI driver in the floppy disk, a controller
menu similar to Figure 3 below will appear. Use the arrow keys to select one of the items displayed
and press <Enter>. If you set the

SATA RAID/AHCI Mode

item in BIOS Setup to RAID mode, select

Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller

. (Select

ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop

ICH9R)

for AHCI mode.)

If a message appears saying one or some file(s) cannot be found, please check the floppy disk
or copy the correct SATA RAID/AHCI driver again from the motherboard driver disk.
