Configuring a RAID Set
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 Windows
As some operating systems already include 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
AORUS USB flash drive with drivers
using "Xpress Install" to ensure
system performance and compatibility. If the operating system to be installed requires that you provide additional
SATA RAID/AHCI driver during the OS installation process, please refer to the steps below:
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
AORUS USB flash drive with drivers
and then browse to the location of the driver. The location of
the driver is as follows:
Windows 64-bit: \Hw10\RAID\x64
Step 4:
When a screen as shown in Figure 1 appears, 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.
