5.7 Creating a floppy with RAID driver
A floppy disk with the Promise ® SATA 378, FastTrak 378 or VIA ® RAID
driver is required when installing Windows ® XP™, Windows ® 2000™ or
Windows ® NT™ operating systems. You can create a floppy disk with the
RAID driver using Makedisk.exe utility. A floppy disk with a RAID driver is
necessary when configuring RAID installations.
To create a floppy disk with RAID driver:
1. Insert the motherboard support CD into the CD-ROM drive and locate
the Makedisk.exe utility for your RAID controller.
A. The Promise ® SATA 378 driver is located in
“\Drivers\Promise\378ATA\Makedisk.exe” of the motherboard
support CD. Use this utility when the Operating Mode setting in
the BIOS is [Onboard IDE Operate Mode] (default).
B. The Makedisk.exe utility for the FastTrak 378 driver is located in
“\Drivers\Promise\378RAID\Makedisk.exe” of the motherboard
support CD. Use this utility when the Operating Mode setting in
the BIOS is [RAID] mode.
C. The Makedisk.exe utility for the VIA ® RAID driver is located in
“\Drivers\VIARAID\6420RAID\DriverDisk\Makedisk.exe” of the
motherboard support CD. Use this utility when configuring Serial
ATA RAID 0 or RAID 1.
2. Insert a clean floppy disk into the floppy disk drive and execute
Makedisk.exe. Follow succeeding screen instructions.
3. Write-protect the floppy disk to avoid computer virus infection.
To use the floppy with RAID driver:
1. During the OS installation, the system prompts to press the F6 key to
install third-party SCSI or RAID driver.
2. Insert the floppy disk with RAID driver into the floppy disk drive and
press F6.
3. Follow succeeding screen instructions.
For additional information on RAID installation and configuration, refer
to the Promise
® RAID installation guide found in
“\Drivers\Promise\Setup” or the VIA RAID installation guide found in
“\Drivers\VIARAID\6420RAID” of the motherboard support CD.
