5-5 Existing Windows XP with RAID built as data storage

When you already have a Windows XP system running at a traditional IDE hard disk,
and you want to keep it unchanged, but you also want to expand the system with some
SATA hard disks, to come out a new RAID system for data storage. In this case, you
need to install the Intel

Rapid Storage Technology enterprise into your Windows XP

system first.

The conditions to install Intel

driver successfully, you need :

1. BIOS "SATA Mode" must be set to [AHCI] or [RAID].
2. You'd better have an IDE CD drive.

If you have a SATA CD drive and the BIOS SATA mode was set to [AHCI] or [RAID],

in Windows XP platform, this CD drive can not be recognized if Intel

Rapid Storage

Technology enterprise has not been installed. If the system can not recognize it, how

can the driver be installed ? This is the reason why we need to come out a standard

procedure for SATA CD drive users.

The correct steps are :

1. In current Windows XP system (no matter what SATA or IDE CD drive you have),

browse the CD, copy the whole directory of Intel

Rapid Storage Technology enter-

prise setup program to your desktop. For example, drag and copy directory "

\Driver\

Intel\RAID\Utility" to your desktop.
