4. Insert the Windows operating system CD/DVD and the USB drive containing the
support pack files into the system and reboot.
5. When prompted, select the option to boot from a CD/DVD.
6. Select your operating system.
7. Select
Core (command line)
or
GUI
to begin the installation. (GUI is recommen-
ded for most users.)
8. Select
Custom (advanced)
when prompted for type of installation.
9. When the installation directory prompt appears, select
Load Driver
and locate the
driver files for the P420m or P320h located on the USB drive.
Note:
The installer may specify the USB drive directory with a different drive letter
than what was originally assigned on the host system (such as C:\).
Windows attempts to find the driver located on the USB drive.
10. Select
Micron Device Driver
when prompted for a driver, and then click
Next.
11. Remove the USB drive from the system.
The Where do you want to install Windows dialog appears again. The drive should
appear as a new drive number.
Note:
The drive may be labeled with
unallocated space
and contain a capacity
close to the user capacity rated for the drive. (For example, a 350GB drive may ap-
pear as 326GB.)
If you receive a setup error at this point, you may need to do the following:
a. Cancel the installation.
b. With the installation DVD and USB drive in the system, reboot the system to
the version of Windows already installed on the bootable primary drive. You
may need to change the BIOS setting to point to the original drive.
c. Use Windows Explorer to find the Windows installation DVD, expand the root
directory, and run the
setup.exe
file located on the installation DVD.
d. Follow steps 6–13.
e. Exit Windows and power down the system.
f. Power up the system.
g. If necessary, change the BIOS primary boot drive setting to point to the
P420m/P320h drive, and then reboot the system.
h. Verify that Windows boots from the P420m/P320h drive.
12. Select the drive and click
Next.
The Windows installation continues and may take several minutes to complete.
During this time, the system reboots automatically several times. Do not attempt
to reboot from the CD/DVD. No user intervention is required.
13. After the installation completes, remove the Windows CD/DVD and reboot the
system.
14. Verify the system boots from the OS installed on the drive.
