Re: 2 SATA drives and 1 IDE drive Not Recognized

Install the SATA drivers you should have received with the drives; should be
on a floppy. Or download from the drive manufacturer's web site.

Windows may have seen them when installed on one of the SATAs but I'm
guessing that the install on the IDE precluded Windows from installing the
SATA drivers during the install; that's why you need them now.

I have a LANPARTY UT mobo, 2 SATA drives, and 1 IDE drive (300MB). The
SATA drives are not set up with RAID.

The BIOS properly identified all 3 drives. I set up the IDE drive as
the boot drive in the BIOS.

When I ran Windows xp setup, all 3 drives were recognized. I installed
Windows on the IDE drive. After windows setup was complete, I could
not "see" either of the SATA drives from within Windows.

By the way, when I installed the 2 SATA drives without the IDE drive,
and installed Windows on one of the SATA drives, Windows recognized
both SATA drives correctly.

I didn't use a floppy disk with SATA drivers when I installed Windows.

What is the problem? How can I get Windows to recognize the 2 SATA
drives? (I'd like to keep using the IDE drive as my boot drive for
Windows, if possible.)

This is my first posting, so I apologize if I left anything out or
used the wrong terminology. I really would appreciate any help.
