Post subject: need help installing a sata driver

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every time I try to install the si3112 driver I get an Install key fail error followed by an install driver error.
I have tried to install it off both a floppy and the nvidia cd and both give me the same errors.
I have no trouble installing the si3112r driver (the raid) version' but I want to use it as my start-up drive.

I have a GA-K8N PRO mobo and the drive is a WD3200ks.

If I can't get it to run where can I download a replacement dirver from --with-out haveing to download a huge driver package?

thanks for the link

this update has been a real "adventure"

Your link helped me solve the SATA problem but I am also having a minor problem with my PATA drives. ON boot-up the ide scan finds no devices for drives 0-3 - there are 2 hard drives on the prim. and a cds and dvd on the sec.
after I boot up my computer shows all the drives and I can access them and devive manager also shows all the dirve. Is there a ATA driver problem?

I disconnected both ide drives and I am using just my one sata drive and I still have the no detect problem. I also found(when killing some extra time) that playing Microsoft's included spider solitire crashed the system I did this several times just to be sure- other wise the system seems fairly stable. It should be -the only changes I made was to replace the 2 ide drives with one larger sata drive and reinstall the system + apps.
