I have just upgraded my motherboard to an ASrock 939NF4G-SATA2, with an AMD
Athlon 3500+ processor, 1gb RAM and a 250gb SATA drive. Running XP home
edition. I had lots of data on 3 IDE hard drives, so I installed those
drives
when building the machine and boot to one of them. However, I just cannot
get
XP to recognise the SATA drive. I have enabled the SATA bit in BIOS. Can
anyone help?
1. Did you install the SATA drivers for the motherboard chipset?
2. In BIOS did you enable SATA drive, or SATA RAID?
