choose the folder "A:\Win98".
2. Click „Ok", then „Finish".
3. You will be prompted to restart the system, click „Ok".
4. The device driver setup is complete. All devices attached to the RAID
controller should be recognized.

To verify if the RAID controller and its device drivers are properly installed, open
the device manager and look under SCSI-Controller for a „HPT370 UDMA/ATA100
RAID Controller". If you do not see the RAID Controller, please go directly to the
troubleshooting section of this manual.
