When I plugged it into SATAII1 it worked fine There are 4 sockets in total numbered 0 to 3 Do I have to use them in order? I am not using raid and have the bios set to use sata as ide. According to the manual these are standard sata sockets and 2 can be used for raid but my understanding from other pcs is that I dont have to use 2 and 3 for raid i can just use them as additional sata sockets. Is my socket broke or do I have to add them in order? I dont have a 3rd drive to try it. Has the drive been initialized? Until windows has partitioned the drive it can't see it. no it doent ask for intialisation nor does it show up in disk management rescan produces nothing Go into the BIOS and make sure that all the SATA ports have RAID disabled if you are not using it. G to control panel and disk management. The drive will not show up as a normal drive until initialized. If it does not show up in the Bios then it will not show in the disk management. It does show in bios and the raid section is set to IDE I put the drive in another machine, formatted it and installed windows xp on it. Put it back and it still doesnt show in disk management. from my original post...... Bios detected it fine but xp didnt. I am not using raid and have the bios set to use sata as ide. Did you give it a drive letter? Is it the only drive in the machine? If you gave it a drive letter and it is the same as another drive, you will have a problem. I plugged an additional drive into SATAII3 Is the drive in question the boot drive or what? I have this board with a sata drive as boot drive It was plugged into SATAII0 I plugged an additional drive into SATAII3 Remove all drives but the one in question. Boot from a Win XP or Vista disk and try to install XP or Vista. If it recognizes the drive to install then the problem is not the drive. I have already done that i know its not the drive my question was `do the sata sockets need to be used in order" 0,1,2,3? |
