XP driver errors for new SATA drive on P4P800 Deluxe

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

Just upgraded my WD 40 gig ATA drive to a WD 120 gig SATA drive on a dual
boot system. Used Ghost to copy my Win2K and XP images to the new drive.
Win2K updated the controller drivers for the SATA drive without assistance.
XP failed, giving the "Driver is not intended for this platform" error
message. All drives function but OS attempts to re-install the drivers
everytime I boot to XP. Tried running the chipset INF installation software
again but no change. Did a temp virgin XP install and all was well.

Anyone know how to re-install/update the IDE drivers without re-installing
XP? Should I install the new drive first while still booting from the
original drive and then ghost it to the new drive? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

I'm running:
WD 40 gig pata HD (now 120 gig sata HD), WD 80 gig pata HD and WD 200 gig
pata HD - all pata drives are on the VIA controller.
3 CD burners on the southbridge IDE controller.

Thanks in advance,
RH

Issue is not with a new install of XP but with an install of a new SATA hard
drive imaged with an existing XP OS from a PATA hard drive. When the SATA
drive is recognized by the existing OS it re-installs the IDE chipset
drivers but doesn't correctly install those for the SATA channels. I only
have this problem with XP and not Win2K. Running Win2K/sp4 and WinXP
Pro/sp2.

Roadhair, when you "ghosted" the old drive onto the new, XP did not receive
the SATA drivers that it has to have BEFORE it can boot from that drive.
Win2K doesn't need those drivers first, but XP does. <shrug> that's just how
it's implemented.

Far as I know, you're screwed. But you might want to try installing the SATA
drivers from a floppy to see if maybe that might help some. If not, you
probly have to re-install XP.

XP will not see the sata drive controller or drives as a IDE device.
You have to go into the bios and change the sata to raid. You do not
have to create a raid array. Then once you boot into XP just install
the raid drives off the motherboard CD. That should fix it.
