SATA drive install problem
I posted a similar topic back in August this year but had other issues with
the hard drive and was never able to successfully install it. I have since had the drive replaced by Western Digital, so now I want to install it again on my PC but I am still having a problem doing this. I have an Asus P4S8X motherboard (about 3 years old) with 2 SATA connections. I currently have installed a primary IDE 200GB harddrive (with Windows XP Pro SP2 installed) and a secondary IDE 80GB HD that acts as a backup drive. The new drive is a 200GB SATA drive that I now want to instal as a backup drive. I have tried methods outlined in my previous post as follows but it still will not boot-up. These are the settings I have used and the messages I receive: 1. BIOS settings: a. Under Advanced/PCI Config I have enabled "Onboard ATA Device" and selected "No" for "Onboard ATA Device First". b. Boot order is Floppy then IDE Drive then DVD-RW then INT18 Device 2. When I first boot up I went to CTRL-F and selected "Auto". It set the new drive to Array 1 / Stripe and it reads as Functional. The boot-up screen shows the RAID Mode as "1+0 Stripe". 3. The boot-up then stops with a warning "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt : "System32/Drivers/ntfs.sys". Is the PC trying to boot from this new drive even with the BIOS settings in 1 above? 4. I then disconnect the SATA drive and boot up normally under the IDE drive. Under Device Manager the RAID/SCII drives are correctly installed and recognized by Windows. Any ideas how I can get this drive installed correctly? regards PeterH |
