Hi all!
I just assembled my new 'puter with these pieces:
A8V MoBo
Athlon64 3000+
1G RAM
1SATA WD 200G HDD
Radeon 9200SE
It fires up fine, and I looked through the BIOS, but didn't dare change
much since it's an AMI-BIOS and I'm used to Award.
Now to my problem:
Windows XP-sp1 can't find the HardDrive.
I know I need to tell the install to use special drivers by pressing F6,
and supply the correct driver on a floppy.
But where on the CD do I find the right driver? I don't intend to run
any form of RAID.
TIA /Ola J |

You would need the driver that matches the SATA controller chipset for
your motherboard. In this case, I believe you will have to make a
choice between the VIA and the Promise controller. Since you are not
going to create a RAID array, you would want to be sure the controller
you select supports a non-raid SATA setup. Your manual will help you
with that decision. According to one post I read you might try this:
"With the asus a8v, on the CD you go to the directory:
drivers/via raid/makedisk.exe.
It opens a utility that formats a 3.5" floppy drive with all the SATA/
raid drivers you need."
Again, I am uncertain whether the VIA controller supports a non-raid
SATA drive, but it sounds like that might handle it for you. I am
sure someone here can be more specific to the needs of your board if
that does not supply you with what you need.
Good luck!

I found it, and it did exactly what I wanted (so far at least).

What do you do, if you haven't got a floppy drive? Can you copy it to a
CD-R?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Wich SATA-drivers should I use? |

Hi, you'd have found the answer by reading the manual, page 5.33....

Well, thank you very much for that bloody helpful comment...
That page only mentions RAID, and I don't intend to use my disk(s) in
that way.
The word SATA isn't even on that entire page, so I would've been just as
confused even if I'd found that.
Enders comment, along with bits and pieces from other threads here, is
what lead me to the knowledge that that makedisk utility should be used
to build your driver-floppy regerdless of how you intend to use your
SATA-disks.

The driver on the CD is old. You can get the latest 3.10E driver from the
VIA site.
It even has a folder with the contents needed explicitly for the Driver
floppy.
Don't get confused by VIA's use of the term 'raid'. Even if you are running
non-raid systems, you use the same driver.

Use the same VIA driver. It's for single drives as well as raids. Get the
latest 3.10E from the VIA site. The ASUS CD is out of date.

Not in this position, but I've often wondered the same thing 
I know how to slipstream service packs into XP, but is there a way to
slipstream these drivers in as well so it just 'uses' them ?

Are you sure? I believe the "F6" function only looks at floppies.

I have read elsewhere that it cannot be done. MS, it stated, wants to make
sure no drivers it has not approved will get installed by default.
I have done it successfully with Norton Ghost 9 which boots under NT.

You dont need/have to install any drivers for SATA, if
you're not using RAID.
I use one SATA as master, with XP, no prob at all.
Just use the cd as normal to boot from, and if the SATA hdd
is plugged in properly and set as primary master, it'll install
XP etc on it. It may still pay to install SP1/2 after tho.
You only need drivers if u set RAID up in the BIOS, and if
u actually use RAID.

Not on my system it doesn't (A8V), and I just built THREE XP boots on the
system so I had a lot of practice.
The WinXP (Even slipstreamed with XP SP2) does not have drivers for the VIA
Sata Controllers. It will find no drives attached unless you use F6 and
provide the driver floppy.
