Making a SATA RAID/AHCI Driver Diskette
Before installing Windows XP, connect a USB floppy disk drive to your computer first because you need to in -
stall the SATA RAID/AHCI driver from a floppy disk that contains the driver during the OS installation. To copy
the RAID/AHCI driver for Windows XP, copy all files in the \BootDrv\Hxp folder in the motherboard driver disk
to your floppy disk.
Installing the SATA RAID/AHCI Driver and Operating System
A. Installing Windows XP
Restart your system to boot from the Windows XP setup disk and press <F6> as soon as you see the mes-
sage "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver." Insert the floppy disk containing the
SATA RAID/AHCI driver. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver that suits your operating sys-
tem. When completed, proceed with the Windows XP installation.
B. Installing Windows 7/Vista
Restart your system to boot from the Windows 7/Vista setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps.
Select
Load Driver . Insert the motherboard driver disk and then browse to the location of the driver. Then fol-
low the on-screen instructions to load the driver. The locations of the drivers for Windows 7 are as follows:
RAID driver for Windows 32-bit: \BootDrv\Hw7\RAID\W7
RAID driver for Windows 64-bit: \BootDrv\Hw7\RAID\W764A
AHCI driver for Windows 32-bit: \BootDrv\Hw7\AHCI\W7
AHCI driver for Windows 64-bit: \BootDrv\Hw7\AHCI\W764A
(Note: The LH/LH64A folder contains the driver for Windows Vista 32-bit/64-bit)
After loading the driver, continue the OS installation.
