I'm building a new PC with a new Western Digital SATA HDD. My mobo's
BIOS does not see this new HDD. (I'm using an Asus P5K Premium board,
P35 chipset.)

I'm wondering if this situation is not a show-stopper however. If I
follow the many posts on the internet about installing XP with a SATA
HDD, will I be OK? (In other words, do the "F6" option when booting
from the XP install disc, and then install SATA drives from a floppy
drive.)


Thanks for any tips, best regards from Robert.

You could also download the drivers from the Asus site and put them
directly on a floppy.

If the BIOS does NOT see the drive neither will the installation
procedure...no matter how many drivers you load.
You need to solve the BIOS problem first.........check your BIOS settings as
they relate to SATA drives.

It should recognize it. I have the same board and did have
what seems to be the same problem.

I reset the BIOS to default. Rebooted. Then it was recognized.

You may wish to try that.
