Getting new SATA drive to show up
Alright, background info:
- Motherboard is Asus P4P800-E Deluxe running the latest BIOS. This motherboard supports SATA but not SATA2. Drive is plugged into SATA1. - I heard this drive came jumpered to SATA1 by default, however, no jumper was supplied I stole one from my brother's computer to test in the meanwhile, and jumpered the hard drive to SATA1 (where the hell do I get just a jumper? Why didn't it come with??) - OS is Windows XP SP2 - Currently running an old IDE drive as master drive, though I ultimately intend on having the new drive run the OS and whatnot, with the old IDE as storage/backup. The BIOS recognizes the hard drive as "Third IDE Master", behind the old drive and the DVD drive. Is this normal? Windows simply prompts some Found New Hardware dialogs, which soon displays: "There was a problem installing this hardwa IDE channel. An error occurred during the installation of the device Driver is not intended for this platform." Drive does not show up in Windows at all. Help appreciated.. |

Did the OS 'start' out as XP SP2 or was it updated 'to' SP2? I ask because twice now I have seen an 'updated'(- sata drivers) XP SP2 install NOT see new sata untill the sata drivers were installed.

An IDE Controller that isn't installed properly shows up.Yellow symbol. thats the driver that needs to be updated. I have had luck by using the device manager to 'update ' the driver and let it search the web/MS. otherwise you need to get the driver from the mainboard manufacturer Good luck |

Is it weird that it wants me to install an IDE controller for this SATA
drive? Or that the mobo detects it as the third IDE master? Is an IDE controller really what I need to be installing? |

Getting new SATA drive to show up
The "IDE Controller" in the device manager doesn't accept the drivers
on the floppy. I tried booting to Windows Setup and pushing F6 then using the drivers on the floppy and it seemed to work in detecting the drive (for setup purposes only)..It did, however, keep my IDE drive as C:\ in the partition list, so I aborted the installation for the time being. My BIOS settings were to disable the IDE drive, so I have no idea why Windows Setup had it listed there. If I unplug the IDE drive and try that again would it see the SATA drive as C:\? Then replug the IDE to make it D:\? Is there someplace I need to specify that the IDE shouldn't be first? Normally I'd go through the whole master/slave thing but SATAs don't have that.. Thanks for continued help. |
