5-1-4 Making a SATA RAID/AHCI Driver Diskette
(Required for AHCI and RAID Mode)
To successfully install operating system onto SATA hard drive(s) that is/are configured to RAID/AHCI mode,
you need to install the SATA controller driver during the OS installation. Without the driver, the hard drive may
not be recognized during the Windows setup process. First of all, copy the driver for the SATA controller from
the motherboard driver disk to a floppy disk. For installing Windows Vista, you also can copy the SATA con
-
troller driver from the motherboard driver disk to a USB flash drive. See the instructions below about how to
copy the driver in MS-DOS and Windows mode.
In MS-DOS mode:
Prepare a startup disk that has CD-ROM support and a blank formatted floppy disk.
Steps:
1: Boot from the startup disk.
2: Remove the startup disk and insert the prepared floppy disk and the motherboard driver disk (here we as
-
sume that the drive letter for your optical drive is D:\).
3: At the A:\> prompt, type the following command. Press <Enter> after the command:
•
For the AMD SB710, type (Figure 1):
(Note 1)
A:\>copy d:\bootdrv\SB7xx\x86\*.*
•
For the JMicron JMB362, type (Figure 2):
(Note 2)
A:\>copy d:\bootdrv\gsata\32bit\*.*
•
For the Marvell 9128, type (Figure 3):
(Note 3)
A:\>copy d:\bootdrv\Marvell\win32\*.*

(Note 1) Type the driver directory based on the operating system to be installed. Refer to the following table
for the SATA driver directories for different Windows operating systems.
