3. Pre-Windows Driver Installation
When you want to use the CSATACOMBO Controller Card for booting your Windows
System, you need to install Windows on the Harddisk while it is connected to the
CSATACOMBO. During this installation, you need to provide the pre-install driver for a
correct function of the CSATACOMBO Controller Card.
Note: If you are running Windows from another hard disk and use this SATA & IDE
controller for extra hard disks, you can skip this chapter and continue to chapter
3.2.
You need to prepare the pre-install driver on a 3.5" Floppy Disk or USB-Flashdrive
before you begin the new Windows installation.
Note: The setup of Windows 2000 and XP does not support the use of an USB-
Flashdrive during the installation. For Windows 2000 and XP, you can only
prepare a 3,5" Floppy Disk.
3.1 Prepare Driver Disk / Flashdrive
1.
Insert the CD-ROM in your CD-ROM Drive. The Autorun should appear automatically.
If the Autorun menu does not appear, navigate to "My Computer" and double-click
on the CD-ROM drive to start the Autorun menu.
2.
Click the "Browse" option in the Menu. An explorer window will appear, showing
you the contents of the CD-ROM.
3.
Choose the folder corresponding with your preferred Windows Version: "Win2kXP"
or "WinVista".
4.
Open the folder "drvdisk" by double-clicking on the folder.
5.
Copy the contents of the "drvdisk" folder to an empty 3.5" Floppy Disk or to an
USB-Flashdrive if you are installing Windows Vista.
When the copy process is complete, the preparations for the new installation are ready.
You can now start with the Windows installation on your computer.
