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 "RAID Installation Guide" 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: .. \ Information \ Manual \ RAID Installation Guide \ English.pdf 2.10 SATA 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. 2.11 SATAII Operating in "IDE" Mode If you want to install Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows XP 64-bit OS on your SATAII HDDs operating in IDE mode, you don't need to make a SATAII driver diskette before OS installation. 2.12 Making a SATAII Driver Diskette For SATAII Operation in "SATA" Mode If you want to install Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows XP 64-bit OS on your SATAII HDDs, you will need to make a SATAII driver diskette before you start the OS installation. You need to copy the SATAII driver package to a diskette and use it while OS queries for other boot device driver diskette. (Please see the "Readme.txt" in SATAII driver directory on the support CD for the files needed to copy to the diskette.) 21
