Installing the RocketRAID 2340 driver for an existing Windows XP/

After the operating system has booted, Windows XP/2003 will automatically detect

list or specific location (Advanced)”, and click Next to continue.
2. Click on the “Include this location in the search” option, and select the system’s
floppy drive (generally Disk A). Next, insert the Driver Installation diskette into
the system’s floppy drive.
3. At the Hardware Wizard screen, select the floppy drive as the source, then click
the Next button. Select the appropriate operating system folder, then click the
Next button.
4. Windows will display a warning message that states the driver has “not been
signed”. Select “Continue Anyway”, then click Finish when prompted. When
windows asks to reboot the system, choose No.
5. Windows will then display a second “Found New Hardware Wizard” window –
repeat steps 1 through 4.
6. Remove the Driver Installation diskette from the floppy drive, then Shut down
and restart the computer.
