Re: please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should have aquired a 1.44 Floppy Disk with the motherboard.
The Floppy has the SATA Drivers on it. If you didn' get the disk, you can go
to the Manufacturers web site and download the file to make the drivers
floppy.
Sometimes the Windows XP install will load generic drivers and sometimes
it won't.
Did you try to go ahead with the install?

hello,
i'm extremely stuck (hence the subject title) and i require any help from
experts, or even better, people who know about the ABIT mobo SG-80. i am
going to do a fresh install on XP with new hardware in my PC.

Right,
i have a ABIT SG-80
i have an intel Celeron D 3.0Ghz processor
512MB RAM
150GB samsung SATA HDD
ATI Sapphire raedeon 128MB
CD/DVD drive

All the hardware is brand new apart from the Graphics card, power supply
and
floppy disk drive.

i have purchased all the new hardware from www.microdirect.com, including
a
brand new Home XP edition installation disk. Through lot's of research and
reading helpful threads on other websites i have noticed i will need to
install the RAID drivers through a bootable RAID floppy on an F6 option
during the installation.

I understand all this but there is one big problem, i have located the
correct drivers for the RAID installation (they are in a file with the
same
number as my SIS chip thing). The problem is that through the search on
the
disk i got with the motherboard, i could not come across a
"createdisk.exe"
or a utility. Even through looking throughout the disk myself and my
father
could not locate the utility.

Without this utility is it still possible to install the RAID drivers for
my
SATA HDD in the XP home setup?

thanks for any help,
Richard
