Damn, SATA disk can't be used by xp
yep there was something on Asus. in the readme file they also said to
use the enclosed disk, which i don't have. Put one together with the provide drivers andso and inserted it into the XP installation. XP then said it had a driver and if the manufacturer didn't give a good reason i should use it. So i'am going to. Or is that a bad idea and should i use the driver from Sili instead?

ASUS for the mobo or Maxtor for the hd? any location on the internet where i can get it? Since the problem is that the SATA host adapter on the motherboard is not supported by the standard ATA driver that comes with XP, it is obvious where you need to look. If there is not a driver on the ASUS site then try the manufacturer of the SATA chip. tnx klaas On Sun, 2 Nov 2003 19:55:44 -0000, "Ben Pope" wrote: JustMe wrote: Hi, I think i run into one off those snipes. I put the system together. On boot time it sees the SATA drive, but not as the primary disk. What do you mean "primary disk"? Windows XP can't find it now and says that there is no Hard drive in the system. When does it say that? During setup? Did you install the Driver by hitting F6 on setup startup? Booting from floppy works, and fdisk can find the drive and put partitions on it, but off course thats not what i want. How can i get system to see the SATA disk al primary disk and install XP? You need to set the boot order to SCSI. And you need to install the driver. Ben -- |

I put one together from the update on the asus site, but the cat file and some others where missing. It worked however and the system is now up and running. Need to install the local network and do some more testing and then... overclocking time. klaas |

Damn, SATA disk can't be used by xp
Hi,
I ****ed up the system badly and had to reinstall xp. I used F6 and accepted the software from the diskkette. When XP installed the driver it said (again did that also yesterday) that it wasn't an official XP tested driver (something with no logo) and asked if i wanted to use it anyway. I choose no this time and went on with the installation. I was suprised xp could start from the hard disk without that drivers. Perhaps it was just one off the components. Any ideas on this? The reason i ****ed up the system was very simple. I inserted a web cam on one off the USB ports to test if they worked. The cam was detected so i pulled out the usb-cable and... got a blue screen. After that it wouldn't restart from the hd. Seems like the boot record was messed up. After installing xp again i tested this again and.. this time a blue screen but it would restart. After restart it give an notification that the system recoverd from an sirious error and if i wanted to transmit a report to Microsoft. Testing the same thing on the other computer wiht an A7N8X-X in stead off the deluxe version gave no problems. How can i fix this problem? (exept from shutting down the system before removing usb cabels) Klaas On Mon, 3 Nov 2003 01:09:48 -0000, "Ben Pope" wrote: JustMe wrote: Hmmm my SATA HD came in sealed plastic no floppy/drivers either.
