and reinstall the driver.

Installing the RocketRAID driver during a fresh Windows installa-

tion

After booting from the Windows CD or DVD-ROM, when the Windows Setup

blue screen appears, look towards the bottom of the screen. Windows will

The setup procedure will continue, and will later instruct you to press the “S” key

to specify additional adapters. Press the “S” key as instructed.

Next, the setup program will prompt for the insertion of the driver diskette. Please

insert the driver diskette, and then press ENTER to continue.

The next window will display several driver options. Please select the

RocketRAID Controller for the corresponding operating system, and press

ENTER to continue.
