B. Installing Windows Vista
The procedure below assumes that only one RAID array exists in your system. Note: You are not required to
load the SATA AHCI driver rst when installing Windows Vista onto the RAID drives attached to the Marvell
9128 controller.
For the Intel P55:
Step 1:
Restart your system to boot from the Windows Vista setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps.
When a screen similar to that below appears, select Load Driver (Figure 5).
Step 2:
Insert the motherboard driver disk (Method A) or the oppy disk/USB ash drive that contains the driver (Method
B), then specify the location of the driver (Figure 6). Note: For users using a SATA optical drive, be sure to
copy the driver les from the motherboard driver disk to a USB ash drive before installing Windows Vista (go
to the BootDrv folder and save the whole iMSM folder to the USB ash drive). Then use Method B to load
the driver.
Method A:
Insert the motherboard driver disk into your system and browse to the following directory:
\BootDrv\iMSM\32Bit
For Windows Vista 64-bit, browse to the 64Bit folder.
Method B:
Insert the USB ash drive containing the driver les and browse to \iMSM\32Bit (for Windows Vista 32-bit) or
\iMSM\64Bit (for Windows Vista 64-bit).
