Chapter 3 Drivers Installation
Beforeinstallingthedrivers,rstinstalltheoperatingsystem.
•
After installing the operating system, insert the motherboard driver disk into your optical drive.
•
The driver Autorun screen is automatically displayed which looks like that shown in the screen
shot below. (If the driver Autorun screen does not appear automatically, go to My Computer,
double-click the optical drive and execute the Run.exe program.)
After inserting the driver disk, "Xpress Install" will automatically scan your system and then list all the drivers
that are recommended to install. You can click the Install All button and "Xpress Install" will install all the rec-
ommended drivers. Or click Install Single Items to manually select the drivers you wish to install.
Please ignore the popup dialog box(es) (e.g. the
•
Found New Hardware Wizard) displayed
when "Xpress Install" is installing the drivers. Failure to do so may affect the driver installation.
Some device drivers will restart your system automatically during the driver installation. After the
•
system restart, "Xpress Install" will continue to install other drivers.
After "Xpress Install" installs all of the drivers, a dialog box will appear asking whether to install
•
new GIGABYTE utilities. Click Yes to automatically install the utilities. Or click No if you want to
manually select the utilities to install on the Application Software page later.
For USB 2.0 driver support under the Windows XP operating system, please install the Windows
•
XP Service Pack 1 or later. After installing the SP1 (or later), if a question mark still exists in
Universal Serial Bus Controller in Device Manager, please remove the question mark (by
right-clicking your mouse and select Uninstall) and restart the system. (The system will then
autodetect and install the USB 2.0 driver.)
