Alternate Instructions for Installing a Drive 

Windows 7/Vista

Windows 7 and Vista operating systems have all the necessary 
tools to help you properly install a PATA drive. Depending on your 
configuration, follow the appropriate set of instructions below 
(Single Install or Adding a Second Drive).

Note:

 Ensure your drive is detected by your PATA controller during 

bootup or in the system BIOS by disconnecting any other hard 
drives from the computer system until Windows has been 
completely installed on the desired hard drive.

Single Install:

If your PATA controller supports RAID, you may need to define your 
drive in a RAID Array before Windows can detect the drive, even if 
the motherboard or system drivers are being loaded correctly. This 
is true even if installing a single drive. Contact your system or RAID 
controller manufacturer for assistance on defining your drive in a 
RAID Array.
1. Insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD-ROM drive and 

restart the system.

2. Follow the onscreen prompts until the

Unallocated Space.”

Next

 to 

automatically partition and format your hard drive in NTFS. 
Windows Vista continues installing.

–If you want multiple partitions on this hard drive, click 

Drive 

options (advanced)

 and skip to step 5 below.

–If your hard drive is not detected, you may need to obtain third 

party PATA controller drivers from the PATA controller 
manufacturer. These drivers must be installed from a CD, DVD, 
floppy, or USB flash drive.

4. After clicking

 Drive options (advanced)

, click 

New

new partition to the hard drive.

5. Enter the capacity of the partition and click

Apply

8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the desired amount of partitions is 

obtained, then click

the first partition.

Adding a Second Drive:

1. Start Windows Vista and allow the operating system to boot to 

the desktop.

graphical representation of the partitions on the installed hard drives 
is displayed. The top window is for viewing a drive’s status, 
capacity, and file system. The bottom window displays a 
representation of the drives in the system beginning with the boot 
drive (drive 0). In almost all cases, you will want to work with the 
bottom window.

drive. If you want a single partition (single drive letter), leave the
