A floppy disk with the RAID driver is required when installing Windows

®

XP OS on

a hard disk drive that is included in a RAID set.
To create a RAID driver disk:

1. Place the motherboard Support DVD into the DVD-ROM drive.
2. Select Make Disk tab.
3. From the Make Disk menu, select the RAID driver disk you want to create or

browse the contents of the Support DVD to locate the driver disk utility.

For detailed descriptions on the NVIDIA

RAID configuration, refer to the “NVIDIA

SATA RAID User’s Manual” found in your motherboard Support DVD.

4. Insert a floppy disk to the floppy disk drive.
5. Follow the succeeding screen information to complete the process.
6. Write-protect the floppy disk to avoid computer virus infection.

To install the RAID driver:

1. During the OS installation, the system prompts you to press the

F6 key to

install third-party SCSI or RAID driver.

2. Press then insert the floppy disk with RAID driver into the floppy disk

drive.
