Getting new SATA drive to show up
Alright, background info:
- Motherboard is Asus P4P800-E Deluxe running the latest BIOS. This motherboard supports SATA but not SATA2. Drive is plugged into SATA1. - I heard this drive came jumpered to SATA1 by default, however, no jumper was supplied I stole one from my brother's computer to test in the meanwhile, and jumpered the hard drive to SATA1 (where the hell do I get just a jumper? Why didn't it come with??) - OS is Windows XP SP2 - Currently running an old IDE drive as master drive, though I ultimately intend on having the new drive run the OS and whatnot, with the old IDE as storage/backup. - New HDD is: Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB SATA2 7200RPM 16MB 8.9MS The BIOS recognizes the hard drive as "Third IDE Master", behind the old drive and the DVD drive. Is this normal? Windows simply prompts some Found New Hardware dialogs, which soon displays: "There was a problem installing this hardwa IDE channel. An error occurred during the installation of the device Driver is not intended for this platform." Drive does not show up in Windows at all. Help appreciated.. |

There's, uhh, a "Promise" folder. Promise SATA drivers or something?
Should I install these, and if so, how would I go about doing so? I downloaded a copy from ASUS to get the latest version and used the makedisk to create a floppy. |

Once you've installed these then you can update the drivers with the ones you have downloaded from ASUS. |

I only saw them by Exploring the CD. |

Just jumping in here...
My ASUS (P4C800E-Dlx) could use Promise RAID *OR* Promse ATA drivers for the SATA ports. If you install the ATA driver and then enabled the Promise RAID in the BIOS (or vise-versa) it won't work.
