2.9 Making An SATA Driver Diskette

If you want to install Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your SATA HDDs, you will

need to make an SATA driver diskette before you start the OS installation.

STEP 1: Insert the ASRock Support CD into your optical drive to boot your system.

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 drivers

into the floppy diskette.

Once you have the SATA driver diskette ready, you may start to install

Windows 2000 / Windows XP on your system directly without setting the

RAID configuration on your system, or you may start to use “SiS RAID

BIOS Setting Utility” to set RAID 0 / RAID 1 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 refer

to the document in the Support CD, “Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installation

and RAID Configuration”, which is located in the folder at the following path:

.. \ RAID BIOS Setting Utility

You may also set the RAID configuration by using “SiS RAID Utility for

Windows” in Windows environment. Please refer to the document in the

Support CD, “Guide to SiS RAID Utility for Windows”, which is located in the

folder at the following path:

.. \ RAID Utility for Windows
