Making an SATA HDD driver diskette... If you want to install Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your system while you only have SATA HDDs on your system, you will need to make an SATA HDD driver diskette before you start the OS installation. How to make an SATA HDD driver diskette? STEP 1: Insert the ASRock Support CD into your optical drive to boot your system. (Do NOT insert any floppy diskette into the floppy drive at this moment!) STEP 2: During POST at the beginning of system boot-up, press <F11> key, and then a window for boot devices selection appears. Please select CD-ROM as the boot device. STEP 3: When you see the message on the screen, “Do you want to generate Serial ATA driver diskette [Y/N]?”, press <Y>. STEP 4: Then you will see these messages: Please insert a diskette into the floppy drive WARNING! Formatting the floppy diskette will lose ALL data in it! Start to format and copy files [Y/N]? Please insert a floppy diskette into the floppy drive, and press <Y>. STEP 5: The system will start to format the floppy diskette and copy SATA HDD drivers. Once you have the SATA driver diskette ready, you may start to install Windows 2000 / Windows XP on your system directly without setting the RAID configuration on your system, or you may start to use VIA Tech RAID BIOS Utility to set RAID 0 / RAID 1 configuration before you install the OS. 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 2.9.1 Installation of Windows 2000 / Windows XP 2.9.1 Installation of Windows 2000 / Windows XP 2.9.1 Installation of Windows 2000 / Windows XP 2.9.1 Installation of Windows 2000 / Windows XP 2.9.1 Installation of Windows 2000 / Windows XP For the installation of Windows 2000 or Windows XP, please insert Windows 2000 or Windows XP CD into the optical drive. Then remove the floppy diskette, and reboot the system. At the very beginning, you will see the message at the bottom of the screen, “Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or Raid driver....” At this moment, please press <F6> key and follow the instructions of Windows 2000 or Windows XP for the proper installation. 2.9.2 RAID 0 / RAID 1 Configurations 2.9.2 RAID 0 / RAID 1 Configurations 2.9.2 RAID 0 / RAID 1 Configurations 2.9.2 RAID 0 / RAID 1 Configurations 2.9.2 RAID 0 / RAID 1 Configurations This motherboard adopts VIA VT8237 southbridge chipset that integrates RAID controller supporting RAID 0 and RAID 1 with two independent Serial ATA (SATA) channels. This section will introduce RAID 0, RAID 1, and the guide to configure RAID 0 and RAID 1. For optimal performance, please install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a RAID set. RAID 0 RAID 0 RAID 0 RAID 0 RAID 0 RAID 0 is called data striping that optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. It will improve data access and storage since it will double the data transfer rate of a single disk alone while the two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a sustained data transfer rate. RAID 1 RAID 1 RAID 1 RAID 1 RAID 1 RAID 1 is called data mirroring that copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to a second drive. It provides data protection and in- creases fault tolerance to the entire system since the disk array management software will direct all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive if one drive fails. Pre-installation Precautions Pre-installation Precautions Pre-installation Precautions Pre-installation Precautions Pre-installation Precautions 1. Please use two new drives if you are creating a RAID 0 (striping) array for performance. 2. You may use two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive if you are creating a RAID 1 (mirroring) array for protection (the new drive must be of the same size or larger than the existing drive). If you use two drives of different sizes, the smaller capacity hard disk will be the base storage size. For example, if one hard disk has an 80GB storage capacity and the other hard disk has 60GB, the maximum storage capacity for the RAID 1 set is 60GB. 3. Please verify the status of your hard disks. 1 9 1 9 1 9 1 9 1 9 2.9.2.1 Guide to Configure RAID 0 2.9.2.1 Guide to Configure RAID 0 2.9.2.1 Guide to Configure RAID 0 2.9.2.1 Guide to Configure RAID 0 2.9.2.1 Guide to Configure RAID 0 Please enter “VIA Tech RAID BIOS Utility” to set RAID 0 configuration.
