HOW TO USE: |
1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE file to a directory on your hard drive. 2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. To use the diskette during a new operating system installation, complete the following steps: NOTE: A diskette drive is required to use this driver. If an external diskette drive is used, ensure it is plugged into the system. 1. Insert the Operating System CD and Power On the notebook to boot from the CD. 2. At the very beginning of the operating system installation, the following prompt is displayed at the bottom of the screen: "Press F6 if you need to install a SCSI or RAID driver...." When the prompt is displayed, press F6. 3. Later in the operating system installation, you are notified that a mass storage device could not be detected. When this notification occurs, press S (S=Specify Additional Device). 4. When prompted, insert the diskette that was created from the SoftPaq file, and then press Enter. 5. Select "Intel 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M)" and press Enter. NOTE: At this point, the following prompt MAY be displayed, depending on the version of your operating system CD. If the prompt is displayed, press Enter to use the default Windows driver and continue, if it is not displayed, simply continue with Step 6. The prompt reads as follows: Windows already has a driver that you can use for "Intel (R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI controller (Mobile ICH7M)". Unless the device manufacturer prefers that you use the driver on the floppy disk, you should use the driver in Windows. S=use the driver on floppy ENTER=use the default Windows driver 6.
