Re: Adding SATA drive to replace ATA drive

All I can find is add drivers and then format. Maybe the cable or port is bad?

Does your mobo/controler require you to configure the drive as JBOD in order
to be used as a single drive?
ie build a single drive array
Some controlers require this.

Been there, done that. Rebooted from WinXP CD, hit F6, installed drivers
from
floppy, rebooted. In Control PAnel, used Add New HArdware, pulled drivers
from same floppy. Both methods implied install was successful. Still no
SATA
drive. I need to get it going soon because I'm tired of my PC locking up
solid.

Then as 'foozer' says you probably need to do a repair install of win
using
the F6 option to install the sata/raid drivers from floppy.
Your mobo manual will have the instructions for using a sata drive - it
varies by mobo and sata controler

I've installed (physically) a Samsung SATA drive. I entered BIOS and
enabled
SATA with it set to BASE (?). Windows recognizes the nVidia SATA
driver
and
the SI SATA driver and their respective controllers but the SATA
Drive
is
nowhere to be seen. What else needs to be done? I want to get the
SATA
drive
going because the IDE drive is dying.
