5 5-5 Existing Windows XP with RAID built as data storage. When you already have a Windows XP system running at a traditional IDE hard disk, and you want to keep it unchanged, but you also want to expand the system with some SATA hard disks, to come out a new RAID system for data storage. In this case, you need to install the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager into your Windows XP system first. The conditions to install Intel® driver successfully, you need : 1. BIOS SATA mode must be set to [AHCI] or [RAID]. 2. You'd better have an IDE CD drive. If you have a SATA CD drive and the BIOS SATA mode was set to [AHCI] or [RAID], in Windows XP platform, this CD drive can not be recognized if Intel® Matrix Storage Manager has not been installed. If the system can not recognize it, how can the driver be installed ? This is the reason why we need to come out a standard procedure for SATA CD drive users. The correct steps are : 1. In current Windows XP system (no matter what SATA or IDE CD drive you have), browse the CD, copy the whole directory of Intel® Matrix Storage Manager setup program to your desktop.

5-5 Existing Windows XP with RAID built as data storage.
When you already have a Windows XP system running at a traditional IDE hard disk,
and you want to keep it unchanged, but you also want to expand the system with some
SATA hard disks, to come out a new RAID system for data storage. In this case, you
need to install the Intel
®
Matrix Storage Manager into your Windows XP system first.
The conditions to install Intel
®
driver successfully, you need :
1. BIOS SATA mode must be set to [AHCI] or [RAID].
2. You'd better have an IDE CD drive.
If you have a SATA CD drive and the BIOS SATA mode was set to [AHCI] or [RAID],
in Windows XP platform, this CD drive can not be recognized if Intel
®
Matrix Storage
Manager has not been installed. If the system can not recognize it, how can the driver
be installed ? This is the reason why we need to come out a standard procedure for
SATA CD drive users.
The correct steps are :
1. In current Windows XP system (no matter what SATA or IDE CD drive you have),
browse the CD, copy the whole directory of Intel
®
Matrix Storage Manager setup
program to your desktop. For example, drag and copy directory "
\Driver\Intel\RAID\
Utility
" to your desktop.
