Configuring SATAHardDrive(s)(Controller:NvidianForce 430)
"*"Skipthisstep ifyou do notwanttocreateRAIDarrayon the SATAcontroller.
To configureSATAharddrive(s),followthestepsbelow:
(1)Install SATAharddrive(s)inyoursystem.
(2)ConfigureSATAcontrollermode and bootsequenceinBIOSSetup.
(3)*ConfigureRAIDsetinRAIDBIOS.
(4)Makeafloppydisk containing the SATAcontrollerdriver.
(5)Install the SATAcontrollerdriverduring OSinstallation.
Beforeyou begin
Pleaseprepare:
(a)AtleasttwoSATAharddrives(toensureoptimalperformance,itisrecommended thatyou usetwo
harddriveswithidenticalmodeland capacity).If you do notwanttocreateRAID,you mayprepare
onlyone harddrive.
(b)Anemptyformatted floppydisk.
(c)WindowsXP/2000 setup disk.
(d)DriverCD foryourmotherboard.
(1)Installing SATAharddrive(s)inyourcomputer
Attachone end ofthe SATAsignalcabletothe rearofthe SATAharddriveand the otherend toavailable
SATAport(s)on the motherboard.If therearemorethan one SATAcontrolleron yourmotherboard,you
mayrefertothe motherboarduser'smanualtoidentifythe SATAcontrollerforthe connector.Then
connectthe powerconnectorfromyourpowersupplytothe harddrive.
(2)Configuring SATAcontrollermodeand bootsequence inBIOSSetup
You havetomakesurewhetherthe SATAcontrollerisconfigured correctlyinsystemBIOSSetup and
setBIOSbootsequenceforthe SATAharddrive(s)/RAIDarray.
Step 1:
Turnon yourcomputerand press DeltoenterBIOSSetup during POST(Power-OnSelfTest).Inthe
exampleinFigure1,makesurethatSerial-ATA-II 1orSerial-ATA-II 2underthe Integrated
Peripheralsmenu isenabled (Serial-ATAII-1controlsthe SATAII0/1connectorsand Serial-ATAII-2
controlsthe SATAII2/3connectors).If you wishtocreateRAIDarray,press ENTERon the SATAII
RAIDConfigitemtoenterthe submenu .

Inthe SATAII RAIDConfigsubmenu,enableSATA-II RAIDfunction.Then enablethe SATAports
withharddisks thatyou wanttouseforRAID.Inthe exampleinFigure2,enableSATA-II 1Primary/
SecondaryRAIDorSATA-II 2Primary/SecondaryRAID).(Forexample,ifyou wishtocreateRAID
withharddisks on the SATAII0and SATAII1connectors,setSATA-II 1Primary/SecondaryRAIDto
Enabled).

(4)Making aSATAcontrollerdriverdisk
Toinstall Windows2000/XP ontoaSATAharddrive/RAIDarrayon the nVIDIAnForce430 controller
successfully,you need toinstall required driverforthe SATAcontrollerduring OSinstallation.Without
the driver,the harddrive/RAIDarraymaynotbe recognized during the Windowssetup process.
Firstofall,you need tocopythe driverforthe SATAcontrollerfromthe motherboarddriverCD toa
floppydisk.The instructionsbelowexplainhowtocopythe driver.
Step 1:Find an availablesystemand insertthe motherboarddriverCD intothe CD-ROMdrive.The
installation utilitywill appearautomatically.Quitthe installation utilityfirst.
Step 2:GotoMyComputerand right-click the CD-ROMdriveicon and selectOpen(Figure12).
