This is a fresh install of Windows XP on new system with SP1 to be
added later after the xp install. MOBO is P4C800E deluxe. I have 2
80GB maxtor SATA HDDs 7200rpm. Not using Promise or Raid. Do I need to
load SATA drivers during install? I've heard no drivers are need if
not using Promise or Raid. If drivers are needed which ones are they?
D:\Drivers\Promise\378ATA ? FastTrak 378 Driver? IAA? Inf?
To format the HD, should I use the Maxblast software or the XP CD?
