(4) Making a SATA controller driver disk

To install Windows 2000/XP onto a SATA hard drive/RAID array on the nVIDIA nForce4 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 12).

Step 3: Go to the BootDrv folder and look for an executable program named MENU.exe (Figure 13).
