Didn't work for me when I was installing XP on K8V SE Deluxe. I guess it
might depend on the XP CD. The one I have is XP SP1. The ones on sale now
are XP SP2... Perhaps, SP2 includes support for SATA...

Didn' work for me either wth XP Pro SP/1. I was able to asign it to an IDE
channel but then lost use of that channel for other IDE drives. I know for
sure if you use the silicon image sata controller you need a Base or raid
driver. If you use the Intel ICH5R controller you also need the IAA raid
edition drivers. DOUG |

I installed a SATA drive in a K8N deluxe (with a SATA driver), installed
Windows and later installed an IDE drive. The Bios automatically set that
IDE drive as the boot drive (so I couldn't boot anymore)... Then I found an
option in the BIOS to make the SATA drive the first drive again. That's
another option then the boot sequence!

Hi, doesn't work for me either with a slipstreamed SP2 and a Asus A8V.
Refused to detect a hard drive so I had to go back and press F6. Maybe this
feature of SP2 is dependant upon the sata chip being used, ie via, promise
or intel....

Doesn't matter which SATA controller your motherboard uses,XP does not have any
SATA drivers. DOUG >> Stay informed about: Do I need drivers for a SATA drive? |

I purposely added a PATA drive and made it the boot drive because the
Promise took forever to boot (K8V Deluxe). I also have to fiddle with the
GRUB and Windows boot files because the order of the drives changed, but it
was worth it. I guess had I looked a little closer I could have kept the
SATA as the first drive but booted from the PATA? I thought it was to boot
order that dictated the order of the drives. >> Stay informed about: Do I need drivers for a SATA drive? |

Because windows loads the driver while it loads all the other drivers at the
beginning of the install,when you press F6. >> Stay informed about: Do I need drivers for a SATA drive? |

Well, it was my fathers PC... so after he screwed it up in record time I had
to install it again. This time without the F6 and... it worked perfectly!
The drive got recognised without any problem, using the Nvidia controller.
Don't know if that would also work with the Promise controller though.
