Hi all
I have 2 IDE hard drives and now I want to add a 250GB Seagate SATA drive
and make this my boot drive with a fresh windows install and use my older
IDE drives as additional storage. In the past week I have been unable to
setup xp on that sata. I boot pc from windows xp home cd, then when
prompted, I press F6 to install third party RAID drivers. After installing
RAID drivers(I tried all of them in the list, RAID as well as AHCI, ICH7,
ICH6, ICH5,...) setup continues loading files and after that...I get a
blue screen with an error message (code 0x0000007B) that says that xp is
shut down to avoid damage and that I should try chkdsk or virusscan,
blabla...
*I tried xp sp1a
*I made an xp with sp2 cd (slipstreamed or whatever you call it)
*I tried xp professional sp1
*I used RAID drivers from my motherboard CD
*I used RAID drivers from ASUS website
*I updated my BIOS successfully to latest version
*I tried booting without and with my old IDE drives connected
*I tried port SATA1 as well as SATA2
And it all gave the same error message.
The strange thing is that when I boot normally from my old IDE drive, in
windows my sata drive appears in disc management as a non-partitioned
drive. So it is recognised.
In device manager I cannot see any RAID or AHCI entry, which is strange
because the F6 RAID floppy utility readme file says the following about
this: "Your system does not appear to be running in RAID or
AHCI mode. If you feel that your system is running in
RAID or AHCI mode and you do not see any of the
controllers listed above, you may choose to contact
your system manufacturer or place of purchase for
assistance"
I thought of partitioning and formatting the sata when booted from my old
IDE to windows but then my sata will get drive letter G:\ and I have a
horrible feeling that I won't be able to change that to C:\ afterwards to
make the sata the (primary)boot drive(?)
Is there any other way to get Bully Gates' OS to setup on this SATA??
Any help is much appreciated.
