Ya I went 2 install windows xp, 4 my first time on sata & I accidently didnt see the part were ur supposed to push F6, too install the drivers from the floppy. So windows installed on my sata like it does for the ide drives, now I dont know how to remove it or install the drivers.

Im using a Asus Maximus Formula & Ive tried to push the delete button to run setup & it does nothing & the tab to enter the bios, wich turns aroun & shows press F8 for BBS pop up, wich wont work & Alt & F2 to execute Asus Ez Flash wich wont work either & it shows me that my hard drive is installed as an Ide.

All I keep seing at the title screen is no ide hard drive detected press F1 to continue & it takes me to windows that I installed wich wont run right.

Can U people Please help me out // lol // with my dumb first time install sata mistake. Thanks

Ps. I didnt know if I shoud put the hard drive into my buddies pc & try 2 format it that way, didnt know if it would work with mine & his at the same time. Please Help!!

I think you are ok. I think the F6 is to let you install raid drivers if you are using raid. If everything runs well, then don't worry.

I think the answer to your last question is yes, but I'm not sure because you are writing in stream of consciousness.

Well if can get in the Bios set your cd/dvd rom drive to boot 1st and you can reformat from your windows disk. If you cant get into bios you need to reset cmos and unplug your PSU from the wall and try again. Unplugging should get you rolling if you cant get in Bios.

I'm confused... You want to run RAID? If not, don't fix what's not broke. No RAID, no RAID drivers (or any other drivers for that matter) required. As already stated bu geofelt, you are good to go.
