Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)

- 82 -

With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system.

As Windows 7 already include Intel

®

 SATA RAID/AHCI driver, you do not need to install separate RAID/AHCI 

driver during the Windows installation process. After the operating system is installed, we recommend that you 
install all required drivers from the motherboard driver disk using "Xpress Install" to ensure system performance 
and compatibility. To install Windows 8.1/8, refer to the steps below:

Step 1: 
Copy the IRST folder under BootDrv in the driver disk to your USB thumb drive.

Step 2: 
Boot from the Windows 8.1/8 setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting 
you to load the driver appears, select Browse.

Step 3: 
Insert the USB thumb drive and then browse to the location of the driver. The locations of the drivers are as follows:
Windows 32-bit: \iRST\32Bit
Windows 64-bit: \iRST\64Bit

Step 4: 
When a screen as shown in Figure 1 appears, select Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset 
SATA RAID Controller and click Next to load the driver and continue the OS installation
