Making An SATA Driver Diskette

If you want to install Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your system while you only

have SATA HDDs on your system, you will need to make an SATA driver diskette

before you start the OS installation.

STEP 1:

Insert the ASRock Support CD into your optical drive to boot your

system. (Do NOT insert any floppy diskette into the floppy drive at this

moment!)

STEP 2:

During POST at the beginning of system boot-up, press <F11> key, and

then a window for boot devices selection appears. Please select CD-ROM

as the boot device.

STEP 3:

When you see the message on the screen, “Do you want to generate

Serial ATA driver diskette [YN]?”, press <Y>.

STEP 4:

Then you will see these messages,

Please insert a diskette into the floppy drive.

WARNING! Formatting the floppy diskette will

lose ALL data in it!

Start to format and copy files [YN]?

Please insert a floppy diskette into the floppy drive, and press <Y>.

STEP 5:

The system will start to format the floppy diskette and copy SATA drivers

into the floppy diskette.

Once you have the SATA driver diskette ready, you may start to install Windows 2000

/ Windows XP on your system directly without setting the RAID configuration on your

system, or you may start to use “SiS RAID Card BIOS Setting Utility” to set RAID 0 /

RAID 1 / JBOD configuration before you install the OS. Before you start to configure the

RAID function, you need to check the installation guide in the Support CD for proper

configuration. Please find the document, “Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installation and

RAID Configuration”, at the following path in the Support CD:
