How do I boot from a SATA drive?
Hi,
I have installed a Gigabyte GA-KVT600 1394 motherboard and a Seagate SATA 7200.7 80gig hard drive. I am trying to get WinXP installed onto the new drive. My problem is that the drive is not seen in the bios. In the m/b manual it says I need to install the correct driver for proper operation and suggests that I download file "VT8237_SATA_Manual.pdf" from Gigabytes web site. Well, I don't know where it is hidden but I cannot seem to find that file at their web site. I have sent them an email, but as yet have not heard from them. Its seems that it is putting the cart before the donkey if I need to load drivers to get the drive to work. How can this be done without first loading the operating system! Thanks, Shane |
