Chapter 8: Installing the Driver on an Existing Operating System ● 48 Before You Begin Before you begin, install and connect your Adaptec RAID controller and internal disk drives (see page 31). You must also create a driver disk (see page 42) before you begin installing the controller driver. Creating a Driver Disk Note: You will need a floppy disk to complete this task. To create a driver disk: 1 Set your system BIOS so that your computer boots from the CD drive. (For instructions, refer to your computer's documentation.) 2 Turn on your computer, then insert the RAID Installation CD included in your RAID controller kit. 3 Follow the on-screen instructions to get to the Adaptec Start Menu. 4 Click Create Driver Disk, then select your operating system.
