B. Installing Windows Vista

(The procedure below assumes that only one RAID array exists in your system.)

AMD SB750 SATA controllers:
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 (RAID hard drive will not be detected at this stage),
select Load Driver (Figure 3).

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 4). 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 SB750V 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\SB750V\LH
For Windows Vista 64-bit, browse to the LH64A folder.

Method B:
Insert the USB flash drive containing the driver files and browse to the LH (for Windows Vista 32-bit) or
LH64A (for Windows Vista 64-bit) folder.
