Re: New Comp, Vista Ult 64bit, Startup SATA/RAID HD not found

Your hard disk should be at least 80GB.

GWSCAN and the disk manufacturer's utilties must be run from a bootable
CD or floppy.

The downloaded files will either create bootable media or need to be
burned as images to suitable media.

The C:\cabs\GWSCAN512\read_me.txt file explains how to prepare your
media with various programs.

You need to burn the GWSCAN512.iso file as an image.
