Installing the AHCI Driver During Windows XP Installation

The AHCI driver must be installed during the Windows
F6 installation method. This is required in order to install the operating system
onto a hard drive when in AHCI mode.
1. Start Windows Setup by booting from the installation CD.
2. Press <F6> when prompted in the status line with the 'Press F6 if you need
to install a third party driver' message.
3. Press <S> to "Specify Additional Device".
4. At this point you will be prompted to insert a floppy disk containing the AHCI
driver. Insert the provided floppy diskette.
5. Locate for the drive where you inserted the diskette then select AHCI control-
ler that corresponds to your BIOS setup. Press <Enter> to confirm.
You have successfully installed the driver. However you must continue installing
the OS. Leave the floppy disk in the floppy drive until the system reboots itself
because Windows setup will need to copy the files again from the floppy disk
to the Windows installation folders. After Windows setup has copied these files
again, remove the floppy diskette so that Windows setup can reboot as needed.
