Hey guys,
I just got a PCI SATA card in the mail yesterday and am having some trouble installing my Samsung SATA hard drive with it.
I installed the drivers correctly and everything but when I attach the hard drive and try to start up WinXP, it freezes on the WinXP loading screen. This only happens when I have the hard drive attached to the PCI SATA card, not just because I installed the drivers.
Here's a link to my card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124022
Anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I have it installed correctly, the hard drive is turning on and spinning so I know it has power going to it and it's not dead, and the hard drive is SATA I and the SATA controller is SATA I. so I don't think there's a compatibility issue. One thing to note though is that I don't have the the jumper for my hard drive, but I shouldn't even need those for an SATA hard drive to work right? They only control things like the speed.
Any help is appreciated
