The installation procedures for Windows Vista
If you want to install Windows
your SATA HDDs with RAID functions, you need to make a SATA driver diskette
before you start the OS installation.
STEP 1: Insert the ASRock Support CD into your optical drive to boot your system.
(Do NOT insert any floppy diskette into the floppy drive at this moment!)
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 /
SATAII drivers into the floppy diskette.
Once you have the SATA driver diskette ready, you may start to install Windows
/ Windows ® XP / Windows
configuration on your system, or you may start to use "RAID Installation Guide" to set
RAID 0 / RAID 1 / JBOD 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 find the document, "Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installa-
tion and RAID Configuration", at the following path in the Support CD:
