RE: Can't get windows to install on new SATA drive.

Well,youre confused and hitachi must have the cleaning lady answering the
phones.....1st,thier is no slave and master on SATA drives in a RAID
configura-
tion,i believe thats what youre trying for...2nd,format both drives,xp
recovery
can do that,or mfg utility,once formatted,configure a RAID array,you'll
need to
adjust in BIOS,you'll get a 2nd BIOS menu to do this in if configured
right,once
done,you'll need the drivers for intels ICHR6,get those at
intel,downloads,chipset
software, you'll use version 4.7 i believe,and the floppy downloads are
listed.Then
boot to xp cd,press F6,use the floppy drivers,press s,once you agree to use
the
floppy drivers,you can continue on and install xp.If you have problems,go to:
