Chapter 4 Installing the Operating System and Drivers
4-1 Operating System Installation
With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system.
As some operating systems already include RAID driver, you do not need to install separate RAID driver
during the Windows installation process. After the operating system is installed, we recommend that you install
all required drivers from the GIGABYTE APP Center to ensure system performance and compatibility. If the
operating system to be installed requires that you provide additional RAID driver during the OS installation
process, please refer to the steps below:
Step 1:
Go to GIGABYTE's website, browse to the motherboard model's web page, download the AMD RAID Preinstall
Driver file on the
Support\Download\SATA RAID/AHCI
page, unzip the file and copy the files to your USB
thumb drive.
Step 2:
Boot from the Windows setup disc and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting you
to load the driver appears, select
Browse
.
Step 3:
Insert the USB thumb drive and then browse to the location of the driver. Select
AMD-RAID Bottom Device
first
and click Next to load the driver. Then select
AMD-RAID Controller
and click Next to load the driver. Finally,
continue the OS installation.
