Installation of Windows 2000 / Windows XP ... 15 1 1. Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installation 1.1 Serial ATA (SATA) Hard Disks Installation This motherboard adopts VIA VT8237 southbridge chipset that supports Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks. You may install SATA hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA hard disks. STEP 1: Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis. STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA hard disk. STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard's SATA connector. STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA hard disk. 2 1.2 Making An SATA Driver Diskette If you want to install Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your SATA HDDs, you will need to make an SATA driver diskette before you start the OS installation. 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 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 [YN]?", press . 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 [YN]? Please insert a floppy diskette into the floppy drive, and press . STEP 5: The system will start to format the floppy diskette and copy SATA drivers into the floppy diskette. 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 "VT8237 SATA RAID BIOS" to set RAID 0 / RAID 1 / JBOD configuration before you install the OS. You may also set the RAID configuration by using "VIA RAID Tool" in Windows environment. Please refer to the document in the Support CD, "Guide to VIA RAID Tool", which is located in the folder at

RAID Software 1. Getting Start The "RAID Software" is a Windows-based software utility with graphical user interface and provides user an easy-operation tool to configure and manage disk drives or disk arrays connected to VT8237 SATA controller. After GUI software is installed, it will automatically start every time when your Windows OS is started. An icon will appear in the system tray of the tool bar to indicate that GUI software is currently running. Just double click on the small icon to call out the main interface of the software. 1 2. Create Disk Array 1. You may click on one of the three buttons to create different types of disk array­ RAID 1, Span, and RAID 0. Then a "Select Array Creating Method" will be prompted. Auto: The software will configure the available hard disk drives to be a disk array. User can modify the hard disk drives later. It is strongly recommended to use this method. Custom: Disk array is arranged by user. 2 2. Click "Auto" button. The "Creating Array" window will pop up. If you select "Custom", the "Available Disks" window will list the available disk drives for array-creating. Select a disk drive and click right arrow button to add the specific disk drive to array. After adding a disk drive, user can also remove the selected disk drive from array. Click the disk drive in "Array Disks" windows, then click left arrow button to remove the selected disk drive. Press "Create" button to create or "Cancel" button to cancel it. After you pressed the "Create" button, a warning message will pop up. Click "Yes" to finish the creation of disk array, or "No" to cancel. 3 3. A message box will pop up to prompt user that the disk array has been created successfully and ask user whether to restart the computer. Click "Yes" to restart the computer or click "No" to skip restarting. New disk array setting will take effect only after restarting. Create RAID 1 You can reserve the data on the source drive after clicking "Create" button when you create a RAID 1 array. There is a limitation if user wants to keep the data on the source drive the capacity of the mirror drive must be greater or equal to the source drive, otherwise the RAID 1 can't be created. If user wants to keep data in the source drive, RAID tool will ask user to synchronize the mirror drive after the system's rebooting. 4 Create JBOD The data in the first disk drive of JBOD array can be reserved when a JBOD array is created. The data on the first disk drive will be reserved and the other disk drives in JBOD will be expanded behind the first disk drive and become free space. 5 3. Delete Disk Array 1. Select the disk array that you want to delete from the left window. Click "Remove Array" button , then a warning message will pop up. 2. Click "Yes" to delete the specific disk array or click "No" to cancel. 6 3. A message box will pop up to prompt user that the disk array has been deleted successfully and ask user whether to restart the computer. Cli
