what they are, but I can't make much out of it. Bottom line, I think I need to install the SATA drivers for my motherboard. Can I do this by doing a "repair installation" of Windows XP, in which case, I'd have the floppy drive with the sata drivers and...

BIOS one is using and maybe the version. Not every BIOS allows for SATA disable, so there is a need for F6 driver install in those particular cases. XP SP2 (and previous) does NOT install SATA drivers unless the drivers were previously slipstreamed into...

experiment later with RAID 0 when I've either purchased an IDE drive for backups or a Firewire/USB2 external one. I'm not sure if you actually need to install the RAID drivers for this config but I did (SI3112). Boot time off SATA 0 is about 2 secs longer...

knew all it needed to boot from and use (including during the Install Process) any IDE or PATA device, but it could not deal with things like SATA, SCSI, AHCI or RAID systems without having drivers loaded from a floppy disk during the Install. As of VISTA and...

SATA drive in Windows you need to install a driver, by that same process during the Install routine. Bottom line looks like you will need to do a fresh install of Win XP SP3 to your new SATA drive connected via a PCI card, and during that you probably will...

drive. let me guess the old hd is a IDE hd, if your answer is yes, then please continue read : This is not a sata 1 or sata 2 problem. This has to do with the chipset, you need to installed the sata driver which is a pain of neck. you need to use flappy drive...

easier. However, I have not been messing with it because I believe you need a floppy drive to install SATA drivers, and I do not have a floppy drive readily available. I've also managed to install open SUSE on the hard disk, which is what I'm currently using...
