A Operating in “non-RAID” Mode

If you want to install Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows XP 64-bit OS on

your SATA HDDs operating in non-RAID mode, you don’t need to make a SATA

driver diskette before OS installation.

Windows 98 SE and Windows ME must be installed by SATA operating in

RAID mode, and you don’t need to make a SATA driver diskette for these

two OS before OS installation.

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

/ Windows XP / Windows XP 64-bit on your system directly without setting the RAID

configuration on your system, or you may start to use “ALi RAID BIOS Setup 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:
