• During Windows XP OS installation, press “F6” to select and in-

stall the SATA driver.

• If you intend to install a Windows XP SP2 or earlier version, you

must first set the “USB 2.0 Controller” field (in the BIOS) to Dis-
abled.

• By default, the “Legacy USB Support” field (in the BIOS) is Dis-

abled. If you are using a USB device to install the Windows oper-
ating system, you must first set this field to Enabled. Set this field
back to Disabled after you have finished the installation.

1. The metal bracket is used to hold a SATA hard drive. First, remove the

screws that secure the metal bracket to the board then remove the
bracket.
