I have only one HDD, but it's SATA HDD. Can I use it to install Windows XP on A7V600 without building RAID?
Yes, you can install Windows XP with one SATA HDD on A7V600.
Please first copy the driver from A7V600 support CD \Drivers\VIARAID\DriverDisk\SATA\*.* into root directory of floppy disk.
(i.e. root directory of floppy disk should contain \pide and \sata folders, txtsetup.oem and vt6420 files.)
Then, boot system by Windows XP installation CD, when the below message show up, press "F6".
"Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver"
Then, press "S" to specify additional device when next screen show up. Put the driver floppy disk you made and press enter to continue.
(If the floppy disk is made successfully, the installation program will ask for selecting driver. Please then select "VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller(Windows XP)".)
After SATA driver loaded and Windows XP can recognize SATA HDD, you can continue to install Windows XP as usual.
(If the driver is selected successfully, but the installation program cannot find your hard drive. Please check whether the hard drive is connected correctly both SATA cable and power cable.)
