If you want to install Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows XP 64-bit OS on your
SATA HDDs operating in non-RAID mode, you don’t need to make a SATA driver
diskette before OS installation.
Windows 98 SE and Windows ME must be installed by SATA operating in
RAID mode, and you don’t need to make a SATA driver diskette for these
two OS before OS installation.
Once you have the SATA driver diskette ready, you may start to install Windows 2000
/ Windows XP / Windows XP 64-bit on your system directly without setting the RAID
configuration on your system, or you may start to use “SiS RAID BIOS Setting Utility”
to set RAID 0 / RAID 1 / JBOD configuration before you install the OS. Before you start
to configure the RAID function, you need to check the installation guide in the Support
CD for proper configuration. Please find the document, “Guide to SATA Hard Disks
Installation and RAID Configuration”, at the following path in the Support CD:
.. \ RAID BIOS Setting Utility
You may also set the RAID configuration by using “SiS RAID Utility for Windows” in
Windows environment. Please refer to the document in the Support CD, “Guide to SiS
RAID Utility for Windows”, which is located in the folder at the following path:
.. \ RAID Utility for Windows
