Adaptec RAID Installation Guide
Creating the Driver Disk
Each of the procedures for installing the driver in each case requires
a slightly different procedure. However, all the procedures require
you to create a driver disk. To create the driver disk
1 Insert the Adaptec RAID Installation CD in your drive.
2 Start from the CD. The CD loads a Linux kernel that is used to
manage all of its functions.
3 Follow instructions and respond to prompts as necessary to get
to the Adaptec splash screen.
4 When you see the Adaptec splash screen, click Create Driver
Disk. Then, click the appropriate operating system.
5 Insert a floppy disk and click OK. The system creates the
driver disk.
6 Shut down the system, and remove the Adaptec RAID
Installation CD and the driver floppy disk.
CD-ROM Support
Before you can install Windows, you need to verify that you can use
your CD drive to install Windows. Identify the scenario that applies
to your situation and follow the recommendations below:
■ If the CD drive plugs into the motherboard or is on an ATA
controller, use the Windows startup floppy disk included with
the Windows CD.
■ If the CD drive is on a SCSI controller other than an Adaptec
RAID SCSI controller, refer to the CD drive guide.
■ If the CD drive is on an Adaptec SCSI RAID controller, create a
driver disk for DOS in addition to creating a driver disk for
Windows as described in Creating the Driver Disk on page 3-12.
Use the DOS driver disk to execute
setupcd.exe to establish
CD-ROM support.
