Existing Windows 2000 Installation

If you have an existing installation of Windows 2000 or XP on a SATA or Ultra ATA drive that you wish to connect to the SATA/300
PCI card, DO NOT connect the drive to the card yet. Leave the drive attached to its current controller. You must install the Windows
driver for the SATA/300 PCI Card before connecting your hard drive to the card.
The following section details the installation of SATA/300 PCI Card drivers on a system that has Windows 2000 already
installed and running.
1. After installing the SATA/300 PCI Card and rebooting your system, Windows 2000 will detect a Mass Storage
Controller and display the Found New Hardware Wizard. Insert the driver diskette or CD. (If you inserted a CD,
close the language chooser that appears.)
2. In the Found New Hardware Wizard window, click Next.
3. Select "Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended)" then click Next.
4. Select the "Specify a location" checkbox, deselect the other checkboxes, and click Next.
5. Click the Browse button.
6. Browse to the I386 folder (Athlon 64, FX, Turion and Opteron users select the AMD64 folder) on the provided driver
diskette or CD, then click Open.
7. Click OK.
8. Windows will detect the driver for the Maxtor SATA/300 PCI Card. Click Next.
