B. Installing Windows Vista
(The procedure below assumes that only one RAID array exists in your system.)
Step 1:
Restart your system to boot from the Windows Vista setup disk and perform standard OS installation
steps. When a screen similar to that below appears (RAID hard drive will not be detected at this stage),
select Load Driver. (Figure 6).
Step 2:
Specify the location where the driver is saved. Refer to the following two ways:
Method A:
Insert the motherboard driver disk into your system and browse to the following directory:
\Chipset\RS690\Vista\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\SB6xx\RAID\LH
For Windows Vista 64-bit, browse to the LH64A folder.
Method B:
If you have copied the SATA RAID driver to a floppy disk following the instructions in "5-1-2," insert the
floppy disk and browse to the LH (for Windows Vista 32-bit) or LH64A (for Windows Vista 64-bit) folder
(Figure 7).
(Note) For AHCI drives, installation of Windows Vista does not require you to install the SATA AHCI
driver in advance during the OS installation process.
