Well, I did exactly what you said to do. I went to the website, after
looking at it I got spooked and didn't trust you, so I went to the mobo
supplied CD and tried it over again with Windows XP Pro and the same result.
Nothing! I did exactly what you said again, but this time, trusted you, and
unzipped the files from your supplied website and then took the floppy and
waited until the prompted F6 and pressed it, waited for the prompted S,
pressed that, and then loaded up the floppy, pressed ENTER and this message
appeared:
Please insert the disk labeled
Manufacturer-supplied hardware support disk
into Drive A:
*Press ENTER when ready
I pressed S again and the same message. In fact, this same message has
appeared everytime I get to S and press ENTER.
I can follow instructions somewhat, and this is what has been going on.
Maybe it's something I need to do in BIOS. Or it's this mobo that I read the
reviews at newegg.com about how it stunk. Maybe all those reviews were right.
I thought because people were using DDR 400 RAM and there was an addendum
saying not to use DDR 400, to use DDR 333 or under. That's what I did, a 512
stick of DDR 333.
Ok, I tried, but no cigar. So F this, I'm fed the F up! F SATA and
everything that goes with it. I have 2 brand new hard drives that are IDE
hard drives. This new SAMSUNG Spinpoint SP1614C 160 GB can bite me.
-- Thanks for trying!

I'm back in BIOS and I see SATA Spread Spectrum and it's disabled, maybe if

Let me see more here, brb. In IDE Function Setup there is Primary Master
P10 and Primary Master UDMA and both are set to Auto. There are 5 more
options for both of those 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. and 5. Maybe one of those should be
changed to a value besides Auto?
Well, I think SATA Spread Spectrum should be put back to disabled until I
hear otherwise.
Looks like this is going to drag on another day. This is the first time
I've installed a SATA drive.
Oh yeah, I tried my keyboard that I use on my Dell 8300 that I know F6
works and when I pressed F6 when prompted to do so, nothing happened, the OS
didn't pause and kept loading until it came to a point where it said no mass
device or something to that nature is recognized.
I've had to F3 this setup 10 times or more.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, attilathehun1
There is a partial reference to what you're doing here.

The Nvidia SATA interfaces have two modes, either RAID or IDE.
For RAID, you press F6 and install a driver. Then press S and
install a second instance (as the RAID driver stack has
two components).
But if you have disabled RAID (the BIOS may have come with it
disabled), then the default Microsoft driver on the Microsoft
CD should have worked. As long as your WinXP CD is at least
Service Pack 1 level or greater.
I would try without RAID enabled, and see if WinXP will install
without any added drivers, as a first attempt. You don't need to
mess with anything other than the "RAID enabled or disabled"
setting. Leave the rest of it alone.
