If you want to install Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows XP 64-bit OS on your
SATA / SATAII HDDs with RAID functions, you need to make a SATA / SATAII driver
diskette before you start the OS installation.
STEP 1: Insert the ASRock Support CD into your optical drive to boot your system.
(Do NOT insert any floppy diskette into the floppy drive at this moment!)
STEP 2: During POST at the beginning of system boot-up, press <F11> key, and
then a window for boot devices selection appears. Please select CD-
ROM as the boot device.
STEP 3: When you see the message on the screen, "Do you want to generate
Serial ATA driver diskette [YN]?", press <Y>.
STEP 4: Then you will see these messages,
Please insert a diskette into the floppy drive.
WARNING! Formatting the floppy diskette will
lose ALL data in it!
Start to format and copy files [YN]?
Please insert a floppy diskette into the floppy drive, and press <Y>.
STEP 5: The system will start to format the floppy diskette and copy SATA /
SATAII drivers into the floppy diskette.
Once you have the SATA / SATAII driver diskette ready, you may start to install
Windows 2000 / Windows XP / Windows XP 64-bit on your system directly without setting
the RAID configuration on your system, or you may start to use "RAID Installation
Guide" to set RAID 0 / RAID 1 / RAID 0+1 / JBOD / RAID 5 configuration before you
install the OS. Before you start to configure the RAID function, you need to check the
installation guide in the Support CD for proper configuration. Please find the document,
"Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installation and RAID Configuration", at the following path in
the Support CD:
