Nå er det sådan en du har. Sådan en har jeg da også
Det er altså ikke nødvendigt at bruge en floppy. Du skal ikke boote på den,
men bare installere driverne i windows.
Hvorfor maxtor synes det er smart med en floppy er fordi at winxp's automatiske
driverinstall, foreslår drev A: som default. Så mener de at det er for svært for menigmand
at trykke "browse" og lede hen til den rigtige driver.
Det du skal er at du skal pakke filerne ud i en mappe på din harddisk.
Så skal du gå ind i device manager/enhedshåndtering, finde din controller og installere driverne derfra.
Vælg "have disk" muligheden og led den hen
til den "winxp" mappe der ligger nede i den mappe, hvor du pakkede driverne ud.
Dette er taget fra instruktionen. skift ordene markeret med fed ud med "In the folder on your hard drive, where you extracted the files" Så er du kørende.
Existing Windows XP Installation
If you have an existing installation of Windows 2000 or XP on a SATA or Ultra ATA drive that you wish to connect to the SATA/
150 PCI card, DO NOT connect the drive to the card yet. Leave the drive attached to its current controller. You must install the
Windows driver for the SATA/150 PCI Card before connecting your hard drive to the card.
The following section details the installation of SATA/150 PCI Card drivers on a system that has Windows XP
already installed and running.
1. After installing the SATA/150 PCI Card and rebooting your system, Windows XP will detect a Mass Storage
Controller and display the Found New Hardware Wizard. Insert the driver diskette or CD. (If you inserted a
CD, close the language chooser that appears.)
2. In the Found New Hardware Wizard window, select “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)” and
click Next.
Select “Search for the best driver in these locations,” then select the “Include this location in the search”
checkbox and click the Browse button.

3. Browse to the WinXP folder
on the provided driver diskette or CD, then click Next.
4. When the New Hardware Wizard has finished installing the SATA/150 PCI Card driver, click Finish.
5. Perform a normal shutdown and power the system off.
6. Connect the interface and power cables to any hard drives you wish to attach to the card, then restart your
system.
If you are installing a new, unformatted drive, format and partition the drive using the software included with the drive or
download the latest available formatting software from the drive manufacturer’s website. For Maxtor and Quantum drives,
MaxBlast installation software is available for download from
www.maxtor.com. Consult the drive installation guide or
manufacturer for more information.
