I am trying to install Western Digital Caviar black 1 TB Sata Hard Drive. Windows XP will not detect the Hard
Disk. I tried using an old Western Digital diagnostic CD that did not work. It economized it and formatted it but
when I put in the XP disk it still did not detect it. I have brand new cables for my brand new Hard Drive.
I also so tried some troubleshooting slipstreaming files and creating a new set up disk but that did not work
either.

My BIOS On Chip IDE devices are set as follows:
On Chip Sata: Enabled
Sata Mode: RAID
IDE DMA Transfer Access: Enabled
OnChip IDE Channel l0: Enabled
OnChip IDE i1: Enabled
OnChip Prefetch Mode: Enabled
Onboard Lan Boot Rom: Disabled
Please help, thanks in advance.
