B. Installing Windows 7/Vista

The procedure below assumes that only one RAID array exists in your system.

Step 1:

Restart your system to boot from the Windows 7 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 2).

Step 2:

Insert the motherboard driver disk (Method A) or the removable storage device such as USB ash drive that

contains the SATA RAID/AHCI driver (Method B), then specify the location of the driver (Figure 3). Note: For

users using a SATA optical drive, be sure to copy the driver les from the motherboard driver disk to a USB

ash drive before installing Windows 7 (go to the BootDrv folder and save the whole SBxxxW7 folder to the

USB ash drive). Then use Method B to load the driver.

Method A:

Insert the motherboard driver disk into your system and browse to the following directory:

\BootDrv\SBxxxW7\RAID\W7

For Windows 7 64-bit, browse to the \W764A folder.

Method B:

Insert the USB ash drive containing the driver les and browse to the W7 (for Windows 7 32-bit) or W764A (for

Windows 7 64-bit) folder.
