Windows XP 64-bit Without RAID Functions

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

SATA / SATAII HDDs without RAID functions, you don’t have to make a SATA / SATAII

driver diskette. Besides, there is no need for you to change the BIOS setting. You

can start to install Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows XP 64-bit on your

system directly.
