I'm sure somebody hear can help me...................please!
I built this box recently out of parts I've had for a year or more. Anyway,
all is well, EXCEPT I get a continuous loop trying to install XP home. It
just won't boot from the drive.
Here's what I've done:
Did the normal F6 thing and installed the mobo raid drivers. ABout 20 times!
Wiped the drive with Boot and Nuke just in case this OEM version of XP wants
a virgin drive.
Tried every thing I can think of in the bios settings. The sata controller
is enabled, no raid configured.. The install goes fine except when it
re-boots, it starts all over again. Driving me nuts!
I'm guessing it's a bios setting, right? This Award bios is a bit confusing,
though. I even flashed it to the most recent.\
I've read a lot about guys having similar probs, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone ever fix this?
Thanks! |

There's a BIOS setting to select a specific hard drive to boot from.
I've forgotten which section as I always boot from the IDE drive,
but I noticed it listed the SATA drives as options.
Mine occasionally won't see any hard drives from a cold boot, and
requires two or more cold boots to see everything. I've had some
drive corruption issues with this motherboard, too, but I can't afford
a complete upgrade just now.

Did you remember to change the first boot drive from the CD to that
SATA ? >> Stay informed about: Help with K7N2 Delta and SATA |

Thanks guys! But........still no joy. Tried all the suggestions. My best
guess is this version 1.0, of this mobo won't boot from a sata drive.
There is even an updated Raid/sata driver on the MSI site. What this one did
do, was stop the install twice to install the drivers. Still no joy. The HD
listed in the drive is:
1. And add on card\
Nothing else is listed, however, Windows can see it.
I just ordered a PATA drive.......it's to much hassle to do much more of
this:
Thanks,
TM >> Stay informed about: Help with K7N2 Delta and SATA |

I've been using one (don't know the version though) that boots just
fine from a SATA RAID. It was booting from a single SATA. Remember
the K7N2 is SATA I and not SATA 2. If using SATA 2 drives the jumpers
may need to be changed.

I did not have to install any drivers for the single SATA, but I did
for the RAID. That required setting up from the BIOS, then at boot,
then at the beginning of the XP Pro install.

I think that's it! You are using PRo, me home. This problem is well
documented all over with all the nVidea Force 2, 3, and 4 shipsets. There is
a workaround slipstreaming and using nLite, but requires a bunch of stuff
from MS to work. Not worth it to me. I'll get the Pata HD today and see what
happens.\

Thanks Roger...but I already have Home, OEM, no returns. AND this dang mobo
is driving me nuts! I replaced the HD with an IDE, and the bios won't
recognize it every time. I'm loading XP as we speak, but have a couple of
questions:
Do the new mobo's support sata drives out of the box, or do you still need
to load the drivers fot boot?
I'm thinking I'll just scrap the mobo and use the parts for my old box......
Anybody got a current mobo that ISN'T a pain in the butt?
Thanks! >> Stay informed about: Help with K7N2 Delta and SATA |

I have a ASUS M2N SLI Deluxe and a Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 590SLI AM2
Both recognize the SATA drives right out of the box, but you do have
to turn them on in the BIOS.

I've had no problems with either of the above, although I did have to
update the BIOS in the ASUS. Updating the BIOS on both is very easy
while the Gigabyte has a dual BIOS so if you screw up an update it'll
revert to the old one which gives you another chance. <  ) The ASUS
has something similar although they don't call it "dual bios"< )
