VA-20 How to Install XP home on SATA Hard Drive
The BIOS shows the Maxtor 80gb SATA HD as it boots up.
In the bios I have this boot config CDROM, SCSI, HDD0 but I do not have a IDE HD installed just the SATA I have SATA enabled in the bios. XP boots to cd, I press F6 to install SATA driver, when xp asks for driver I select the Sil3112 Sil3114 driver from the ABIT website. Xp loads the driver then press enter to setup xp. At this point it tells me there is no hard drive installed to load xp on and I have to exit the setup. There is no information in the manual or on the website about how to install xp on a SATA HD I had no problem loading xp on my SOYO KT800 wilt a single maxtor 300gb SATA HD. and have been building systems for a few years now, at this point I'm at a loss Thanks Fred fred-k@neo .rr.com |

AFAIK, the BIOS either emulates a non RAID SATA setup as either IDE or a SCSI channel. -- Conor "You're not married, you haven't got a girlfriend and you've never seen Star Trek?
