The following procedure describes how to install Windows OS onto RAID logical disk:

1. Copy the driver files to a removable media, such as USB flash drive, CD-ROM, or floppy disk
2. Create RAID logical disk(s) using ESRT2 OpROM Config Utility (during POST).
3. Boot Windows installation disk. Follow instructions on screen until below step is reached.
4. At "Which type of installation do you want?" screen, select "Custom (advanced)"
5. At "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen, select "Load Driver"
6. Install the removable media with the driver files (extracted in step 1)
7. Select "Browse" and locate the folder with the driver files and then select "OK"
8. Select "Next". There may be a 1-2 minute delay as drivers are loaded.
9. Select "Drive options (advanced)" to customize partitions - if necessary
10. Select "Next" to continue with the installation
11. There are several reboots during installation - ensure that the selected RAID array is the boot device during every reboot.

Installation of the driver after the operating system is installed:

1. Boot into applicable Windows OS. Click the Windows Start button and select Settings.
2. Click Control Panel.
3. Select Adapter.
4. Select the Drivers tab.
5. Scroll down the list until the appropriate selection for your system which contains the Intel(r) Embedded RAID Technology II and for your operating system displays, then click <OK>.
6. Select it, then remove it by clicking the Remove button.
7. Click the Add button.
8. Select the Have Disk button.
9. Insert the diskette into the floppy drive.
10. Select drive letter A: and click on <OK>.
11. Select Intel(r) Embedded RAID Technology II and click OK.
12. After Windows copies the driver, reset the system.

About SATA / AHCI / RAID Drivers:

When you install an operating system, SATA settings (be it AHCI, RAID, or IDE mode) are detected from the BIOS. If you want to change from one mode to another after the OS has been applied, appropriate drivers are required.

Bear in mind that if you modify these settings without installing proper files first, the operating system will not be able to boot until changes are reverted or required drivers are applied.

To perform the latter task, get the package, run the available setup and follow the instructions displayed on-screen for a complete installation. Afterwards, perform a system reboot so that all changes take effect, enter BIOS menu, and set the SATA option to the mode that best describes the newly applied drivers.

So, if you intend to modify the SATA settings to the mode described by this release, click the download button, and make the desired changes. In addition to that, don’t forget to constantly check with our website so that you don’t miss a single new release.  

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
