B. Installing Windows XP
Before installing Windows XP, connect a USB oppy disk drive to your computer rst because you need to in-
stall the SATA RAID/AHCI driver from a oppy 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 oppy disk. Refer to the methods below.
Method A:
• For the AMD A75 Chipset, copy all les in the \BootDrv\Hxp folder to your oppy 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 le 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 oppy 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 les to the oppy disk. Press any key to exit when
nished.
