Hi all
Im hoping to get support for the issue I encountered today. So, I began to build up a ´new´ machine using A7N8X Deluxe, CPU 2400+ T-bred, 160GB SATA seagate and samsung DL DVD-RW burner in Nexus Breezer case (400W). The system has got a 1.44", too. ;) The picture is controlled with Radeon 9800 pro. Im not going to run RAID, only single mode with 1 HDD in my rig.
The issue is as follows:
The bios detects the DVD-RW in IDE-2 slot as a master, OK but the Seagate SATA drive cannot be detected. Drive is attached to primary SATA connector (pri_sata1) on mobo. I do not know the BIOS version (in fact dont know how to / where to check it). I have jumper enabled Serial ATA setting i.e. 1 and 2 pins "jumpered". According to my knowledge there is no place to control SATA in bios.
However the screen that with a text something like "SiL RAID driver..." before the boot sequence DOES list my Seagate SATA -> conclusion: the BIOS detects it afterall?
Tried to install XP corp. ed with no luck. Second time I pressed F6 to give SATA drivers (NVIDIA storage controllers) for the mobo/XP but no luck -> Setup gave me an error code (code #7)/or errors occured while copying files from the I386 directory etc.
Can anyone hint me what to do? The retailer told me that even though the mobo uses SATA133 ´channel´ one can use SATA150 drive on it with decreased bus (150->133).
When commanding the boot order in the bios should I use SCSI or HDD-0 to my SATA drive?
Im totally lost atm. Maybe I should have bought ordinary IDE HDD... ;)
Thanks in advance,
