Without the driver, the hard drive may not be recognized during the Windows setup process. First of all, copy the driver for the SATA controller from the motherboard driver disk to a floppy disk. For installing Windows Vista, you also can copy the SATA controller driver from the motherboard driver disk to a USB flash drive. See the instructions below about how to copy the driver in MS-DOS and Windows mode. In MS-DOS mode: Prepare a startup disk that has CD-ROM support and a blank formatted floppy disk. Steps: 1: Boot from the startup disk. 2: Remove the startup disk and insert the prepared floppy disk and the motherboard driver disk (here we assume that the drive letter for your optical drive is D:\). 3: At the A:\> prompt, type the following command. Press after the command: • For the AMD SB850, type (Figure 1): (Note 1) A:\>copy d:\bootdrv\SB8xxx\x86\*.* • For the GIGABYTE SATA2, type (Figure 2): (Note 2) A:\>copy d:\bootdrv\gsata\32bit\*.* Figure 1 Figure 2 (Note 1) Type the driver directory based on the operating system to be installed. Refer to the following table for the SATA driver directories for different Windows operating systems. Operating System Directory Windows XP 32-bit Bootdrv\SBxxx\x86 Windows XP 64-bit Bootdrv\SBxxx\x64 Windows Vista 32-bit (AHCI mode) Bootdrv\SBxxxV\AHCI\LHx86 Windows Vista 32-bit (RAID mode) Bootdrv\SBxxxV\RAID\LH Windows Vista 64-bit (AHCI mode) Bootdrv\SBxxxV\AHCI\LHx64 Windows Vista 64-bit (RAID mode) Bootdrv\SBxxxV\RAID\LH64A Windows 7 32-bit (AHCI mode) Bootdrv\SBxxxW7\AHCI\Win7x86 Windows 7 32-bit (RAID mode) Bootdrv\SBxxxW7\RAID\W7 Windows 7 64-bit (AHCI mode) Bootdrv\SBxxxW7\AHCI\Win7x64 Windows 7 64-bit (RAID mode) Bootdrv\SBxxxW7\RAID\W764A (Note 2) Change the directory from \32bit to \64bit for copying the Windows 64-bit driver. In Windows mode: Steps: 1: Use an alternative system and insert the motherboard driver disk. 2: From your optical drive folder, double click the Menu.exe file in the BootDrv folder (Figure 3). A Command Prompt window will open ...
