Creating The Driver Disk; Creating The Linux Driver Disk - Adaptec RAID 21610SA Installation And User Manual

Creating the Driver Disk

Installing a driver is easier if you create a driver disk. To create the
driver disk:
1 Set your system BIOS so that your computer boots from the
CD-ROM drive.
2 Insert the Adaptec installation CD and turn on the computer.
3 Follow instructions and respond to prompts as necessary to get
to the Adaptec Start Menu.
4 Click Create Driver Disk. Then, select the appropriate
operating system.
5 Select the appropriate floppy drive letter. Then, choose the
appropriate format. (You need a full format only if the disk has
never been formatted or may have bad sectors.)
6 Insert a floppy disk and then click OK. The system creates the
driver disk.
7 Remove and label the driver disk.
Now that you have created your driver disk, identify the appropriate
driver installation scenario and proceed with the installation.
