Previously my Western Digital SATA HDD had problem. I replaced a new
WD3200AAJS one from dealer. I connected that HDD to one SATA port in
my Gigabyte GA-8S655FX motherboard. The BIOS settings for SATA were
set as below:
Sis Serial ATA Controller [Enabled] (available options: Enabled or
Disabled)
Sis Serial ATA Mode [RAID] (available options: IDE or RAID)
After PC powered up. BIOS reported it detected the HDD.
However, as Windows XP Professional was running, I couldn't find the
SATA HDD from explorer.
I used System Management Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk
Management tool and forced it to scan new hardware but no new HDD
found.
Also, I used Device Manager -> Drive icon and clicked to force
hardware change scanning. Still no new HDD found.
Although there exist probability that the new HDD was faulty but I
would like to ask what can I do further before I return it to the
dealer for another HDD ?
Tks!
PS: My motherboard has 2 SATA ports. I'd tried both of them but the
results were the same. |

You want IDE mode, then the Microsoft IDE driver will load. |

I remembered last time I installed the replaced disk no driver need to
be installed. >> Stay informed about: How to made XP add SATAII HDD to hardware list |

That just controls how its seen by the OS, not how the hardware is done. >> Stay informed about: How to made XP add SATAII HDD to hardware list |

The driver is not for the disk, but for the controller on
the mainboard. The disk does indeed not need a driver.

Tks! The suggestion works. But I would like to know if the IDE option
has anything related to IDE i.e. will my SATA perform as SATA-I (the
board only supports SATA-I) HDD or its performance is no difference as
an ordinary IDE HDD ? >> Stay informed about: How to made XP add SATAII HDD to hardware list |

Tks, Eric is correct, only changing Sis Serial ATA Mode [RAID] enables
XP to recognize the HDD. I read the driver manual, it said driver is
needed if I want to install XP or 2000 on the SATA disk. I wonder
without the driver, will the SATA disk performs as a real SATA disk. >> Stay informed about: How to made XP add SATAII HDD to hardware list |

Yep, like I said, that setting just affects how it looks
to the OS, not how it works at the hardware level.
Its only purpose is to avoid the need to load a driver to see the drive at the OS level. >> Stay informed about: How to made XP add SATAII HDD to hardware list |
