Hance Rapids SATA HostRaid Driver Installation for GA-8KNXP Ultra-64
Kelvin,
I kept scratching my head over this one. As I have stated, I'm not familiar with this Raid (Hance Rapids - 6300ESB SATA Raid) because I don't use it. I have my SATA DVDs connected to these connections and use the Silicon Image Sil 3114 controller for my SATA hard drives. On the motherboard CD in the BootDrv directory are all the floppy installed drivers. Click on Menu.exe. This will bring up a 'Command Prompt window' with a menu of all the drivers available. Place a formatted floppy disk in your floppy drive, at the prompt, enter 'G' (Hance Rapids Raid), and then 'return'. The Hance Rapids Raid drivers will be loaded onto the floppy disk. When finished the Menu will return, simply enter '0', the 'Command Prompt window' will disappear. Check your floppy disk and you should find the following files and directory: HRAIDSK1 TXTSETUP.OEM WIN32 - DIRECTORY AARICH.CAT AARICH.SYS ADHRAID.CAT ADHRAID.INF OEMSETUP.INF 'Enable' the 'SATA RAID Function' in the motherboard BIOS. Connect your two SATA hard drives to the SATA0_SB and SATA1_SB connections, then install WinXP. Use the F6 option early in the installation process and place the floppy disk made above to load the Hance Rapids Raid drivers. I think you know the rest of the process (about using 'Ctrl S' to bring up the Adaptec SATA HostRaid Controller utility to configure your hard drive array). I hope you find this information useful. Good Luck Jeff |
