4.1.1
When Windows XP/2000/ME/98/NT is installed already
When the operation system is installed in a drive not connected at M5281/M5283, using the SETUP program is the
BEST way to install the driver and utility since the SETUP program will automatically install driver and utility under
Windows.
Note: If you follow the Windows Hardware Wizard to install the driver, the ALi RAID Utility will not be installed. You
need to run SETUP again.

Note: If the PATA and SATA controllers are both enabled, Windows will show "Found New Hardware Wizard"

procedures described in following sections. Remember, DO NOT press "Cancel" at wizard dialog
boxes.

dialog box twice.
