Then a controller menu similar to Figure 3 below will appear. Select RAID/AHCI Driver for GIGABYTE GBB36X Controller (x32) and press . Windows Setup You have chosen to configure a SCSI Adapter for use with Windows, using a device support disk provided by an adapter manufacturer. Select the SCSI Adapter you want from the following list, or press ESC to return to the previous screen. RAID/AHCI Driver for GIGABYTE GBB36X Controller (x32) ENTER=Select F3=Exit Figure 3 Step 3: On the next screen, press to continue the driver installation. After the driver installation, you can proceed with the Windows XP installation. B. Installing Windows Vista (The procedure below assumes that only one RAID array exists in your system.) For the Intel H57: 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, select Load Driver (Figure 4). Figure 4 Step 2: Insert the motherboard driver disk (Method A) or the floppy disk/USB flash drive that contains the driver (Method B), then specify the location of the driver (Figure 5). 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 iRST 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\iRST\32Bit For Windows Vista 64-bit, browse to the 64Bit folder. Method B: Insert the USB flash drive containing the driver files and browse to \iRST\32Bit (for Windows Vista 32-bit) or \ iRST\64Bit (for Windows Vista 64-bit). Figure 5 Step 3: When a screen as shown in Figure 6 appears, select Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/DO/5 Series/3400 Series SATA RAID Controller and click Next. Figure 6 Step 4: After the driver is loaded, select the RAID/AHCI drive(s) where you want to install the operating system and then click Next to continue the OS installation (Figure 7). Figure 7 For the GIGABYTE SATA2: 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/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\32Bit For Windows Vista 64-bit, browse to the 64Bit folder. Method B: Insert the USB flash drive containing the driver files and browse to \GSATA\32Bit (for Windows Vista 32-bit) or \GSATA\64Bit (for Windows Vista 64-bit). Figure 9 Step 3: When a screen as shown in Figure 10 appears, select GIGABYTE GBB36X Controller and click Next. Figure 10 Step 4: After the driver is loaded, select the RAID/AHCI drive(s) where you want to install the operating system and then click Next to continue the OS installation (Figure 11). Figure 11 C. Rebuilding an Array Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 arrays. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. (Note: The new drive must have equal or greater capacity than the old one.) For the Intel H57: Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer. • Enabling Automatic Rebuild Step 1: When the message "Press to enter Configuration Utility" appears, press + to enter the RAID Configuration Utility. The following screen appears after you enter the RAID Configuration Utility. Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - option ROM - 9.5.0.1037 Copyright(C) 2003-09 Intel Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
