DS3, SATA II, bios question
Last response: in Systems
My new build is up and running, but I don't think I have the bios right for the SATA II HD.
Right now I'm settin at:
1. SATA AHCI mode disabled
2. SATA Port 0-3 Native mode disabled
3. Onboard sata/ide device enabled
4. Onboard sata/ide control mode IDE
What are the proper settings? I don't think I'm 100% off, but real close. I also forgot to check to see if there was a 150 jumper on the seagate hd.
I read somewhere that if I enable AHCI, I will need a new driver to support it. What driver and where can I get it? Wouldn't it be on the MS install disk?

no let me clarify.
steps 1-4 is in bios. After that its in windows Setup.
WHen you put in the XP CD Rom, and do the "press any key to boot from CD ROM..." you will be greeted with a blue screen.
Somewhere on the bottom on the screen will have hte words "press f6 to setup RAID or SCSI drivers" or something like that... Press F6.
After Setup loads a few things it will give u a prompt to insert the floppy disk to load the drivers for NCQ and Hotswap Capabilities (the only real difference between SATA I and SATA II)
Insert floppy, find select the proper driver (i dont know the right 1 off the top of my head)
Continue setup like any other installation. (pick hard drive, format, install etc).
