Software Description
MSI SMART TOOL
MSI SMART TOOL is a convenient tool that can help you to create your Windows
installation USB flash drive with USB 3.0 drivers, and it can also create a software
RAID.
Main menu
After installing and activating MSI SMART TOOL, it will display a main menu for you
to choose Win7 Smart Tool or Software RAID. Note that the Software RAID is only
available when your system equipped with at least 3 hard-disk drives (1 system disk
and 2 data disks).
WIN7 SMART TOOL
Before you can create your Windows installation USB flash drive, youll need to have
your Windows Installation DVD or ISO file, and also have a minimum of a 8GB USB
flash drive to create your installer. Be sure to backup files on the USB drive, this
process will erase it.
To create the Windows installation USB drive:

Browse button and select the file from the dialog box. (This option will copy all
Windows installation files and USB 3.0 drivers)
y If you already have the Windows Installation USB flash drive and just want to add
USB 3.0 drivers on it, you can choose Add USB drivers.
Step2. Choose Storage device
y Choose USB storage and select your USB flash drive in the drop-down list. In case
the USB flash drive is not listed, click the Refresh Drive button.
y If you want to install Windows on the PCIe M.2 RAID that was created by BIOS >
M.2 Genie (please refer to BIOS Setup Section for details), check the M.2 Genie
checkbox to copy iRST drivers to the USB flash drive.
y Click Start.
