When  you  start  nstallng  Wndows  XP,  you  may  encounter  a  message  statng, 
“Setup could not determne the type of one or more mass storage devces  nstalled 
n your system”. If ths  s the case, then you are already  n the rght place and are 
ready to supply the drver. If ths  s not the case, then press F6 when prompted at 
the begnnng of Wndows setup.
Press the “S” key to select “Specfy Addtonal Devce”.
You  should  be  prompted  to  nsert  a  floppy  dsk  contanng  the  Intel

nto the A: drve.              
Note:   For Wndows XP, you can use the USB floppy drve only.     
  For Wndows Vsta you can use CD/ DVD/ USB drve.

Durng the Operatng system  nstallaton, after selectng the locaton to  nstall Vsta 
clck on “Load Drver” button to nstall a thrd party SCSI or RAID drver.
When  prompted,  nsert  the  floppy  dsk  or  meda  (CD/DVD  or  USB)  you  created  n

You should be shown a lst of avalable SCSI Adapters.
Select the approprate Intel RAID controller and press ENTER. 
The  next  screen  should  confirm  that  you  have  selected  the  Intel® RAID  controller. 
Press ENTER agan to contnue. 
You have successfully  nstalled the Intel

Leave the dsk  n the floppy drve untl the system reboots  tself. Wndows setup wll 
need to copy the files from the floppy agan after the RAID volume  s formatted, and 
Wndows setup starts copyng files.

Important
A “Create from Exstng Dsk” operaton wll delete all exstng data from the added dsk and the data cannot be recovered. It  s crtcal to backup all mportant data on the added 
dsk before proceedng. However, durng the mgraton process, the data on the source  dsk s preserved.
The  Intel  Matrx  Storage  Console  offers  the  flexblty  to  upgrade  from  a  sngle  Seral 
ATA  (SATA)  hard  drve  to  RAID  configuraton  when  an  addtonal  SATA  hard  drve  s 
added  to  the  system.  Ths  process  wll  create  a  new  RAID  volume  from  an  exstng 
dsk. However, several  mportant steps must be followed at the tme the system  s first 
configured  n order to take advantage of RAID when upgradng to a second SATA hard 
drve:
BIOS  must  be  configured  for  RAID  before  nstallng  Wndows  on  the  sngle  SATA 
hard drve. Refer to “BIOS secton” properly settng.
Install the Intel Applcaton Accelerator RAID Drver durng Wndows Setup. Refer to 
“Installng Software” for nstructons on nstallng the drver durng Wndows Setup.
Install the Intel Matrx Storage Console after the operatng system s nstalled. 
To create a volume from an exstng dsk, complete the followng steps:

(1) Configure Volume
Here you can configure the new RAID volume by enterng the volume name, selectng 
the RAID level and strp sze.
RAID Volume Name:  
A  desred  RAID  volume  name  needs  to  be  typed n  where  the  “Volume_0000”  text 
currently appears above. The RAID volume name has a maxmum lmt of 16 char
-
acters.  The  RAID  volume  name  must  also  be  n  Englsh  alphanumerc  ASCII  char-acters.
RAID Level:
Select the desred RAID level:
RAID 0 (Performance) : 
A volume optmzed for performance wll allow you to access your data more quck
-ly.
RAID 1 (Redundancy) :
A  volume  optmzed  for  data  redundancy  wll  provde  you  wth  a  realtme  duplcate 
copy of your data. Note: Only half of the avalable volume space wll be avalable for 
data storage.
RAID 5 (Useful) :
RAID  5  can  be  used  on  three  or  more  dsks,  wth  zero  or  more  spare-dsks.  The 
resultng RAID-5 devce sze wll be (N-1)*S, where N  s the how many drve, S s the 
sze of the smallest drve  n the array. If one of the dsks fal, all data are stll  ntact. 
It can rebuld the dsk from the party  nformaton. If spare dsks are avalable, recon
-
structon  wll  begn  mmedately  after  the  devce  falure.  If  two  dsks  fal  smultane-
ously, all data are lost. RAID-5 can survve one dsk falure, but not two or more. Both 
read and wrte performance usually  ncrease, but can be hard to predct how much. 
Reads are smlar to RAID-0 reads, wrtes can be ether rather expensve (requrng 
read-n pror to wrte,  n order to be able to calculate the correct party  nformaton), 
or  smlar  to  RAID-1  wrtes.  The  wrte  efficency  depends  heavly  on  the  amount  of
