A storage media controller driver auto installing method and
system is proposed, which is designed for use with a
computer platform, such as a network
server, that is equipped with a storage media controller, such as an IDE (Integrated Device
Electronics) or
SCSI (Small Computer
System Interface) compliant
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) controller, for the purpose of installing a
software-based driver for the
RAID controller in a fully-automatic manner during the installation of an
operating system, such as
UNIX or WINDOWS, onto the
server. This feature allows the driver installation process to be fully automatically carried out by the
operating system, without requiring the network
system management personnel to manually swap disks and manually input required settings for the installation of the driver, so that the driver installation process can be made more efficiently, effortlessly, and reliably.
