I just bought a new system that I'm piecing together. I have a giga-byte
8knxp REV 2.0 motherboard, and a WD 160gig SATA hd. I got windows xp pro to
load, but when trying to install the motherboard drivers I have a problem
with the SiI 3112 SATARaid controller. It shows up in the device manager as
a ??. When I install the driver, and reboot windows it comes up with the
Windows XP PRO screen with the dots running across the bottom of the screen
and then just freezes. When it gets to that screen the drive light doesn't
even come on. Then the dots freeze and I have to reboot. I then am told
windows didn't load properly, and I elect to go back to the previously
working state. I have an almost identical system that I built 3 months ago
with no problems with this. My SiI 3112 SATARaid controller works fine with
all the updates... in fact I just loaded the newest one from MSFT windows
update today (driver dated may 7th, 2004). I tried installing this one on
my new computer with the same freezes. Any help out there?
Thanks.
