Note:
The Steps 1 and 2 can be skipped if you use the F6 Floppy
disk utility provided by Intel. This utility can also be
downloaded from the following website. These methods
are applicable to systems configured for RAID or
AHCI mode.http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Product_Filter.asp?ProductID=1809
1. Extract all driver files from the installation package.
See Section 7.2 for instructions on extracting the
files.2. Create a floppy containing the following files in the root directory:
iaAhci.inf, iaAhci.cat,
iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat,
iaStor.sys, and
TxtSetup.oem.3. At the beginning of the operating system installation, press F6
to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver.4. When prompted, select ‘S’ to Specify Additional Device.
5. When prompted, insert the floppy disk you created in
step 2 and press Enter.6. At this point you should be presented with a selection
for one of the following depending on your hardware
version and configuration:– Intel(R) 82801GHM SATA RAID Controller (Mobile ICH7RM)
– Intel(R) 631xESB/632xESB SATA RAID Controller (Workstation ESB2)
– Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M)
– Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)

hardware in your system and press Enter.8. Press Enter again to continue. Leave the floppy disk in
the system until the next reboot as the software will
need to be copied from the floppy disk again when setup
