the motherboard driver disk to a floppy disk. Refer to the methods below.
Method A:
• For the Marvell 88SE9172, copy all files in the \BootDrv\Marvell\RAID folder to your floppy disk.
For AHCI mode, depending on whether you want to install the 32- or 64-bit version, copy the files in the
AHCI\Win32 or AHCI\win64 folder.
Method B:
Steps:
1: Use an alternative system and insert the motherboard driver disk.
