Confirm the Hard Drive List 

The system is designed to allow booting from a variety of internal devices, including USB pen drive, SATA drive, 
and CompactFlash drive, etc. Given the tiny footprint and slow performance of USB pen drive, SATA drive and 
CompactFlash are more prevailing devices to carry operating system and can to be found in the detected drive 
list, in the section of SATA Configuration. 
 
In the event that a particular SATA device is not detected and prompted in the device list, hardly would the 
system boot from it. Please turn off the system, check or re-apply the SATA cable and SATA power cable, or 
re-insert CompactFlash card to ensure an appropriate connection. 
 

Always Mind the SATA Mode

 

SATA controller is embedded in the Intel® Q87, and shall run only in one single SATA mode at a time. Three 
different modes are available: IDE, AHCI, and RAID. Please ensure that a SATA mode has been selected for the 
installation, and always use this particular mode to boot the operating system being installed. Failed to boot 
the operating system with the correct mode would definitely run into system collapse. While thus disaster 
occurs, please re-select a SATA mode to try again the advisability of such change, so as to determine the mode 
being used at installation phase. 
 
Procedures to load operating system: 

(1)

 

Please attach USB CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. 

(2)

 

Start or restart the system. 

(3)

 

Press “del” to go to BIOS setup menu. 

(4)

 

Choose to confirm SATA Controller status. If it is enabled, select a SATA mode and go to (6). 

(5)

 

If SATA Controller is disabled, bring it up and reboot to allow a re-detection of Hard Drives. 

(6)

 

Confirm if the Hard Drive has been detected by the prompt of it on the drive list. 

(7)

 

Scroll and choose to boot from optical device (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM). 

(8)

 

Save and reboot the system to activate the change and start the installation. 

(9)

 

Upon reception of messages or instruction from Operating System CD or DVD, please proceed with the rest of 
the work as installer instructs. 

 

Loading Extra Driver Files

 

Some challenges might occur during the installation, as if the issue of no Hard Drive detected, where extra 
driver files are needed. This is mostly found, when AHCI or RAID mode is selected, in operating systems such 
as Windows-XP, where a USB floppy drive loaded with SATA driver should be prepared and attached on USB 
port and, at the prompt of such a message, please press “F6” key while being asked to do so, to allow the 
installer integrate the driver file from floppy drive. Windows-7 or above apparently do not seem to come with 
such an issue against the onboard Q87 SATA Controller, and hence no extra driver should be needed. 
 
On completion of the installation of operating system such as Microsoft Windows, please find the driver CD in 
the enclosed accessory bag and proceed with driver files installation in the sequence as: INF (Chipset), VGA, 
and LAN. If some driver updates are available by Windows Update, please accept the updates when prompted.
