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 (RAID/AHCI hard drive(s) will not be detected at this
stage), select Load Driver (Figure 8).

Figure 8

Step 2:
Insert the motherboard driver disk (Method A) or the floppy disk/USB flash drive that contains the SATA
RAID/AHCI driver (Method B), then specify the location of the driver (Figure 9). Note: For users using
a SATA optical drive, be sure to copy the driver files from the motherboard driver disk to a USB flash
drive before installing Windows Vista (go to the BootDrv folder and save the whole GSATA folder to the
USB flash 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\GSATA\Floppy32
For Windows Vista 64-bit, browse to the 64Bit folder.

Method B:
Insert the USB flash drive containing the driver files and browse to Floppy32 (for Windows Vista 32-
bit) or Floppy64 (for Windows Vista 64-bit).
