SATA Hard Drive Configurations (nForce series)- 9 -
(4) Making a SATA controller driver disk
To install Windows 2000/XP onto a SATA hard drive/RAID array on the nVIDIA nForce4 Ultra/SLI controller
successfully, you need to install required driver for the SATA controller during OS installation. Without
the driver, the hard drive/RAID array may not be recognized during the Windows setup process.
First of all, you need to copy the driver for the SATA controller from the motherboard driver CD to a
floppy disk. The instructions below explain how to copy the driver.
Step 1: Find an available system and insert the motherboard driver CD into the CD-ROM drive. The
installation utility will appear automatically. Quit the installation utility first.
Step 2: Go to My Computer and right-click the CD-ROM drive icon and select Open (Figure 11).
