Before installing Windows XP, connect a USB floppy disk drive to your computer first because you need to in
-
stall the SATA RAID/AHCI driver from a floppy disk that contains the driver during the OS installation. Without
the driver, the hard drive(s) may not be recognized during the Windows setup process. First, copy the driver
from the motherboard driver disk to a floppy disk. Refer to the methods below.
Method A:
•
For the AMD A75 Chipset, copy all files in the
\BootDrv\Hxp
folder to your floppy disk.
Method B:
Steps:
1: Use an alternative system and insert the motherboard driver disk.
2: From your optical drive folder, double click the
Menu.exe
file in the
BootDrv
folder. A Command Prompt
window will open similar to that in Figure 2.
3: Insert the blank formatted disk (if you're using a USB floppy disk drive, make sure it is designated as drive
A). Select the controller driver by pressing the corresponding letter from the menu and press <Enter>. For
example, from the menu in Figure 2, for the AMD A75 Chipset, select
11) hseries AHCI/RAID Driver for
XP
.
Your system will then automatically copy the driver files to the floppy disk. Press any key to exit when
finished.
