Familiar SATA and Gigabyte problem
I'm sorry about this as I see a lot of post about various probs with SATA and gigabyte but none seem to be exactly the same as mine nor have they helped me resolve my prob - I have tried and tried.
I'm no PC novice but new to SATA. It all looks easy enough. Set the bios to Enable SATA, set first boot item to SCSI, set SCSI to SATA - Save & reboot.
Bios cannot see sata? I have tried base and raid in advanced settings to no avail - SOmetimes I get the SATA raid screen up sometimes I don't, it doesn't matter as it doesn't get past Updating dmi with either anyway.
I have started a new XP install after getting the new Sata, this bit went OK , f6 to install sata drivers and start the XP install (format drive install etc (so Sata works ok)) It restarts but bios cannot see the sata to continue the install?
OK this is me
Gigabyte 7N400 Pro2 - F11 bios (also tried modded f11 with later sata drives also tried modded FB bios - just the same with both)
Hitachi Deskstar 160gb Sata
Two 120gb ide drives set up as raid 0 (HAve tried with these off and on)
Two DVD Burners on secondary ide channel
With the FB bios the screen the boot order looks different and the first menu item is asking me to select the sata raid boot order - press enter and I get two lines that read the same both pointing to the same sata controller? When I boot the Sata raid scanner find two sata devices both with the same address? There's only one drive?
PS can you not use gigaraid ide stripe set for storage and sata as a boot disk?
Have tried with the IDe raid off but its just the same anyway?
