5-1-3 Installing the SATA RAID Driver and Operating System
Now that you have prepared the SATA RAID driver diskette for Windows XP/2000 and configured the
required BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system onto your hard drive(s). Please
note that installation of Windows Vista does not require you to install the RAID driver during the OS
installation process. The following is an example of Windows XP installation.
Step 2:
When a screen similar to that below appears, insert the floppy disk containing the SATA RAID driver and
press <S> (Figure 2).
Windows Setup
Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver.
Windows Setup

Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass storage devices
installed in your system, or you have chosen to manually specify an adapter.
Currently, Setup will load support for the following mass storage devices(s)
<none>
* To specify additional SCSI adapters, CD-ROM drives, or special
disk controllers for use with Windows, including those for
which you have a device support disk from a mass storage device
manufacturer, press S.
* If you do not have any device support disks from a mass storage
device manufacturer, or do not want to specify additional
mass storage devices for use with Windows, press ENTER.
Step 1: Restart your system to boot from the Windows XP setup disk and press <F6> as soon as you
see the message "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver" (Figure 1). After
pressing <F6>, there will be a few moments of some files being loaded before you see the next screen.
