I'm still in BIOS and I'm looking at Advanced Chipset Features and a few
options have spiked my interest. The first one is PCI-E Spread Spectrum and
it's disabled. I could change it from disable to triangular down. The other
option is SATA Spread Spectrum which is also disabled, but I could change it
to triangular down.
I'm just thinking about the video card and SATA drive, that's why it peaked
my mind to see wtf those were.
This isn't important right now? Lets try and get this going. I'm almost to
the point where I'm going to burn those floppies and take a chance. I figure
to wait for your response, but If I don't hear from you by tonight, I'll give
it a shot. It's going to take at least 3 floppies to do this. That's why I
was wondering if I was doing this right?
Thanks, attilathehun1

Home or Pro will make no difference.
The sata/controler driver will be on your mobo cd, often in the form of
'make floppy' otherwise it is usually avilable on the mobo site. (and no you
cannot install it from the cd - floppy only)
The F6 option comes in early in the winxp installation, you get a msg on the
screen re 'install third party drivers' F6 at this point. If you miss it you
have to go through the whole installation again.

My hard drive isn't being recognized during the installation of Windows XP
Home edition, should I use Windows XP Pro, and then it would be ok?
Where do I get the SATA driver from to install during installation of the
OS? Also, When I pressed F6 a fail-safe load came up. What's that about?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm ready to fire up this DIY PC that I built 3 years ago and I"m
thinking
to not use anything fancy except a video card. This will be a new hard
drive,
and a new operating system, either Windows XP Pro or Home edition. This
mobo
is an Elitegroup ECS GF6100-M754. The hard drive is a SAMSUNG Spinpoint
SP1614C SATA drive, with either 80 or 160 GBs. I took it out to look at
it,
to make sure you have the right info.
I need to go into BIOS and configure that it's going to be a SATA drive
instead of IDE drive? What do you think is the BIOS key, DEL, F1, F2 or a
wtf? I don't want to do anything fancy here, it's my first SATA
installation.
Just get it working and no updates either I think?
Please don't tell me to read the mobo manual, the part on BIOS had half
the
page torn. Figures, there are 2 half torn pages in the whole manual and 1
of
them is on the BIOS section. My luck!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
