How to made XP add SATAII HDD to hardware list
Previously my Western Digital SATA HDD had problem. I replaced a new
WD3200AAJS one from dealer. I connected that HDD to one SATA port in my Gigabyte GA-8S655FX motherboard. The BIOS settings for SATA were set as below: Sis Serial ATA Controller [Enabled] (available options: Enabled or Disabled) Sis Serial ATA Mode [RAID] (available options: IDE or RAID) After PC powered up. BIOS reported it detected the HDD. However, as Windows XP Professional was running, I couldn't find the SATA HDD from explorer. I used System Management Tools - Computer Management - Disk Management tool and forced it to scan new hardware but no new HDD found. Also, I used Device Manager - Drive icon and clicked to force hardware change scanning. Still no new HDD found. Although there exist probability that the new HDD was faulty but I would like to ask what can I do further before I return it to the dealer for another HDD ? Tks! PS: My motherboard has 2 SATA ports. I'd tried both of them but the results were the same. |

That just controls how its seen by the OS, not how the hardware is done. |

Tks! The suggestion works. But I would like to know if the IDE option has anything related to IDE i.e. will my SATA perform as SATA-I (the board only supports SATA-I) HDD or its performance is no difference as an ordinary IDE HDD ? |

Arno- $Bp,i6Ho0zMQJ8;z(B - - $Bp}(Ho0zMQJ8;z(B - Tks, Eric is correct, only changing Sis Serial ATA Mode [RAID] enables XP to recognize the HDD. I read the driver manual, it said driver is needed if I want to install XP or 2000 on the SATA disk. I wonder without the driver, will the SATA disk performs as a real SATA disk. |
