BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure required settings or to activate certain system features. The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS SRAM. When the power is turned on, pushing the button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen.

English 4-1-4 Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) (Controller: GIGABYTE SATA2) To configure SATA hard drive(s), follow the steps below: (1) Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system. (2) Configure SATA controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup. (3) Configure RAID array in RAID BIOS.(Note 1) (4) Make a floppy disk containing the SATA controller driver. (Note 2) (5) Install the SATA controller driver during OS installation.
English (2) Configuring SATA controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup Make sure to configure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup and set the first boot device. Step 1: Turn on your computer and press Del to enter BIOS Setup during POST (Power-On Self Test). In BIOS Setup, go to Integrated Periperals, ensure that the Onboard SATA/IDE Device is enabled. Then set Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode to RAID/IDE before configuring RAID.
English Step 2: To boot from Windows installation CD-ROM disk, set First Boot Device under the Advanced BIOS Features menu to CDROM (Figure 2).

English (4) Making a SATA Driver Disk (Required for AHCI and RAID Mode) To install operating system onto a serial ATA hard disk successfully, you need to install the SATA controller driver during OS installation. Without the driver, the hard disk may not be recognized during the Windows setup process. First of all, copy the driver for the SATA controller from the motherboard driver CD-ROM to a floppy disk. See the instructions below about how to copy the driver in MS-DOS mode(Note1).
Now that you have prepared the SATA driver disk and configured BIOS settings, you are ready to install Windows 2000/XP onto your SATA hard drive with the SATA driver. The following is an example of Windows XP installation. Step 1: Restart your system to boot from the Windows 2000/XP Setup disk and press F6 as soon as you see the "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver" message (Figure 18).
English Step 3: When Setup correctly recognizes the driver in the floppy disk, a controller menu similar to Figure 20 below will appear. Use the ARROW keys to select one of the items displayed depending on the operating system to be installed. For example, select GIGABYTE GBB36X Controller (Windows 2K/XP/2003) if you wish to install Windows XP (32-Bit). Then press ENTER.
WindowsXP Professional Setup Welcome to Setup. This port of the Setup program prepares Microsoft(R) Windows (R) XP to run on your computer. To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER. To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R. To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3. Enter= Continue R=Repair F3=Exit Figure 22 (Note: Each time you add a new hard drive to a RAID array, the RAID driver will have to be installed under Windows once for that hard drive.
