I am running WinXP on an IDE HD and an A7N8X-E Motherboard. I've installed
a SATA drive (already partitioned and formatted) to be used for data, but
XP won't recognize it. The SATA shows up on the screen during boot as it
should, right after the option about a SATA driver for RAID (I don't have
RAID). Also, I loaded Fdisk from a Win98 boot diskette, and it sees the
SATA drive properly.
In the process of trying "everything" I added added a third HD with
Win98SE on it, booted that, and lo and behold, Win98 *does* recognize the
SATA drive right off the bat, reads the files on it, and sees it as a
normal drive in every way. XP does see the Win98 drive normally, but not
the SATA drive.
Should I just scratch XP and go back to Win98... [lol]
I'd be very grateful for any suggestion or ides. Thank you!
