Without the driver, the hard drives may not be recognized during the Windows setup process. ¤¤ ¤a First of all, you need to copy the driver for the SATA controller from the motherboard driver CD to a floppy disk. The instructions below explain how to copy the driver. Step 1: Find an available system and insert the motherboard driver CD into the CD-ROM drive. The installation utility will appear automatically. Quit the installation utility first. Step 2: Go to My Computer and right-click the CD-ROM drive icon and select Open (Figure 11). Figure 11 Step 3: Go to the BootDrv folder and look for an executable program named MENU.exe (Figure 12). Figure 12 SATA Hard Drives Configurations (Intel ICH6R) -9 Step 4: Double-click MENU.exe. An MS-DOS prompt screen similar to Figure 13 below will appear. Figure 13 Step 5: Insert an empty floppy disk and press 1 to select 1)Intel Application Accelerator 4.0. Then it will take about one minute to copy the SATA driver from the motherboard driver CD to the floppy disk. Step 6: Press 0 to exit when the procedure is complete (Figure 14). You have copied the SATA driver sucessfully. Figure 14 -10 -SATA Hard Drives Configurations (Intel ICH6R) Ac (5) Installing SATA controller driver during OS installation Now that you have prepared the SATA driver disk and configured BIOS settings, you are ready to install Ae Windows 2000/XP onto your SATA hard drive with the SATA driver. The following is an example of Windows XP installation. ¤¤ ¤a Step 1: Restart your system to boot from the Windows 2000/XP Setup disk and press F6 as soon as you see the "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver" message (Figure 15). After pressing F6, there will be a few moments of some files being loaded before you see the next screen. Figure 15 Step 2: When a screen similar to that below appears, insert the floppy disk containing the SATA driver and press S (Figure 16). Figure 16 SATA Hard Drives Configurations (Intel ICH6R) -11 Step 3: If Setup correctly recognizes the driver in the floppy disk, a controller menu similar to Figure 20 below will appear. Use the ARROW keys to select Intel(R) 82801FR SATA RAID Controller* and press ENTER. Then it will begin to load the SATA driver from the floppy disk. Figure 17 If a message appears saying one or some file(s) cannot be found, please check the floppy disk or copy the correct SATA driver again from the motherboard driver CD. Step 4: When the screen as shown below appears, press ENTER to continue the SATA driver installation from the floppy disk. The driver installation will be finished in about one minute. Figure 18 "*" If your southbridge is ICH6R, select Intel(R) 82801FR (ICH6R). If your southbridge is ICH5R, select Intel(R) 82801ER (ICH5R). -12 -SATA Hard Drives Configurations (Intel ICH6R) Ac After the SATA controller driver installation is completed, you should see a screen as below. It indicates that you have installed the SATA controller driver successfully. You ca...
