- 73 - Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)
3-2 Installing the SATA RAID/AHCI Driver and Operating System
With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system.
A. Installing the Operating System
As Windows 7 already includes Intel
®
SATA RAID/AHCI driver, you do not need to install separate RAID/AHCI
driver during the Windows installation process. After the operating system is installed, we recommend that you
install all required drivers from the motherboard driver disk using "Xpress Install" to ensure system performance
and compatibility. To install Windows 8.1/8, refer to the steps below:
Step 1:
Copy the
IRST folder under BootDrv in the driver disk to your USB thumb drive.
Step 2:
Boot from the Windows 8.1/8 setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting
you to load the driver appears, select
Browse .
Step 3:
Then browse to the USB flash drive and select the location of the driver. The locations of the drivers are as follows:
Windows 32-bit: \iRST\32Bit
Windows 64-bit: \iRST\64Bit
Step 4:
When a screen as shown in Figure 1 appears, select
Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset
SATA RAID Controller and click Next to load the driver and continue the OS installation.
