(4) Making a SATA Driver Disk
To install Windows 2000/XP onto a SATA hard drive on the SiS 964 controller successfully, you need
to install required driver for the SATA controller during OS installation. Without the driver, the hard drive
may not be recognized during the Windows setup process.
First of all, you need to copy the driver for the SATA controller from the motherboard driver CD to a
floppy disk. The instructions below explain how to copy the driver.
Step 1: Find an available system and insert the motherboard driver CD into the CD-ROM drive. The
installation utility will appear automatically. Quit the installation utility first.
Step 2: Go to My Computer and right-click the CD-ROM drive icon and select Open (Figure 13).

Step 3: Go to the BootDrv folder and look for an executable program named MENU.exe (Figure 14).
