install Windows from DVD
I am putting a system with Sabertooth X58, i7 930. This is my first
system with SATA. I have a SATA HD, not an old PATA DVD. What do I need to install both Windows XP 64-bit and Windows 7? Are there BIOS setting in order to recognize SATA? Thanks for the advice! |

Are there BIOS setting in order to recognize SATA? Thanks for the advice! The computer should be able to boot from an SATA DVD drive. In the first start-up, enter BIOS setup and verify that an SATA device is listed as a boot device. Windows is bootable from the DVD. GR |

install Windows from DVD
I tried IDE DVD connected through USB, but it failed in the middle.
I'm trying to create a Flash drive with a Windows XP on it. |

install Windows from DVD
?Why??
both installation DVD's will boot from a SATA connected DVD drive. check your BIOS settings peter If you find a posting or message from me offensive,inappropriate or disruptive,please ignore it. If you dont know how to ignore a posting complain to me and I will be only too happy to demonstrate :-) "liu" wrote in message ... I tried IDE DVD connected through USB, but it failed in the middle.

I would try installing Windows XP from Flash drive first before going that route. Thanks, |

Check the BIOS settings, and select a mode more suited to your approach. (For example, if the BIOS was set to AHCI for the hard drive, set it to IDE and try to boot again.) If you want to use an exotic BIOS setting for the hard drive interface (like RAID), at least on WinXP, you're going to need to offer a driver via "pressing F6", early in the installation. Alternatives to that method, include slipstreaming a driver into the install disc, with NLite. Installing Windows 7 from the same IDE DVD, there is no blue screen but it is stuck at "Select the driver to be installed" page with "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK." error message. From googling these keywords, it appears that using SATA DVD may resolve the problem. I would try installing Windows XP from Flash drive first before going that route. Thanks, Again, enter the BIOS setup screen, and verify the settings are correct. WinXP will be constraining your choice of operating modes, and generally, if you select a mode that doesn't need a driver for WinXP, then Windows 7 won't need a driver either. Windows 7 has IDE drivers, AHCI driver (MSAHCI), as well as specific RAID drivers (IASTORV which is an Intel RAID driver originally shipped with Vists - that is why there is a V in the name). When you reboot these installations, don't forget, what needs the *initial* driver, is the hard drive. If the driver for the optical drive wasn't present, that wouldn't stop a completed installation from booting. So in that sense, a SATA DVD would fix nothing. If you can't get the initial installation stage to work, then you'd consider changing the optical drive to something that works. But once the installation is finished (and you've been prompted to reboot the computer for the first time), what counts then, is the hard drive and the driver that supports it. ******* Sabertooth X58 Intel ICH10R controller 6 xSATA 3.0 Gb/s ports (black) Intel Matrix Storage Technology Support RAID 0,1,5,10 WinXP - need driver for AHCI or RAID. No driver for IDE. - use at least a WinXP SP1 installer CD Win7 - since MSAHCI and IASTORV are present on the Windows 7 disc, any mode should work, but the choice is controlled by what WinXP needs to install. Windows 7 must be "rearmed", if, at a later date, you change the BIOS setting that controls the hard drive. On WinXP, you can't even change the BIOS operating mode later, and expect WinXP to boot. There is a way to fix that of course. Marvell® 9128 PCIe SATA6Gb/s controller 2 xSATA 6Gb/s ports (gray) There is a good chance, both OSes will need a driver. The 9128 may be too new, to be included. WinXP would require a floppy diskette with txtsetup.oem and driver files. Or you could slipstream the drivers, and burn a new installer CD. I don't know the procedure for Windows 7, and offering drivers. I suspect you have plugged your hard drive, into the 9128 connector, and that might be consistent with your symptoms. Plug the hard drive into an ICH10R SATA port, for an easier installation experience. You can move the boot drive, over to the 9128 connector later, once you've had a chance to install a driver for it, after the OS boots for the first time via the ICH10R SATA port. For example - connect hard drive to ICH10R, install WinXP, boot system for first time, install Marvell 9128 driver, shut down system, move SATA connector to 9128 port, reboot computer and it should boot. Supports EZ Backup and SuperSpeed functions JMicron® JMB362 SATA controller: 1 xPower eSATA 3Gb/s port (SATA On-the-Go) 1 xeSATA 3Gb/s port (SATA On-the-Go) I don't know the details on this one. The JMicron site, terms their driver, as a "JRAID" driver, even when only a single disk is being used. That would lead me to suspect, you *might* need a driver for WinXP. I'm not sure about that. On my system, the only JMicron chip I've got, controls the PATA port. In summary, move the disk to the ICH10R SATA ports. Set the BIOS operating mode to IDE (either Compatible or Enhanced, preferably Enhanced as more SATA ports will work that way). In section 3.4.2 of the PDF user manual for Sabertooth X58, I see 3.4.2 Storage Configuration SATA COnfiguration [Enhanced] COnfigure SATA as [IDE] On WinXP, you'd want at least WinXP SP1 installer CD, and then no driver would be required for those settings. Windows 7 can also install, without a driver, for that operating mode. HTH, Paul |

install Windows from DVD
Paul, thanks for the thorough info. I did the slipstreaming and it
worked after I installed it from a SATA DVD drive. It's resolved. Thank you all for the help! |
