That when you are prompted for the first time you need to use a Driver for your Version of Linux to allow it to Load as whatever it is you are using doesn't support that SATA Controller Natively. It's asking you to select a Driver or provide a Disc with the Driver on it. Fairly straight forward really when you think about it.

As to which you select you need to select the one that suits what you have available to you. So you either need to make a Driver Disc for your Computer and Linux or you need to insert a Disc with the SATA Driver on it for your Hardware and version of Linux. You should ask your System Builder or Linux Maker which it is here or at least how to proceed or where to get the driver from and how to make a Driver Disc.

Again I'm guessing but I Imagine that when it's asking you for a Parameter it's asking you to tell the computer where the SATA Driver is. I'm assuming here that you've opted to select the [b]Have Disc Driver[/b] and the computer is asking you to tell it where the SATA Driver is. So the parameter would be the Drive Letter and then the Tree to the Driver if it's not in the Root of that drive so something like the Drive Letter then the Folder that the Drivers are in and then the file Name would be the required Parameter here.
