SATA Hard Drives Configurations (Intel ICH7R) -8- (4) Making a SATA Driver Disk To install Windows 2000/XP onto a SATA hard drives on the ICH6R controller successfully, you need to install required driver for the SATA controller during OS installation. Without the driver, the hard drives may not be recognized during the Windows setup process. First of all, you need to copy the driver for the SATA controller from the motherboard driver CD to a floppy disk. The instructions below explain how to copy the driver. Step 1: Find an available system and insert the motherboard driver CD into the CD-ROM drive. The installation utility will appear automatically. Step 2: Go to My Computer and right-click the CD-ROM drive icon and select Open (Figure 11). Figure 11 Step 3: Go to the BootDrv folder and look for an executable program named MENU. exe (Figure 12).

Then it will take about one minute to copy the SATA driver from the motherboard driver CD to the floppy disk. Step 6: Press 0 to exit when the procedure is complete (Figure 14). You have copied the SATA driver sucessfully. Figure 14 If you wish to install 64-bit Windows Operating System, select 8) Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager 64bit.
