Help install SATA drive
Spec :
GA-K8NF-9
Seagate ST3200826AS 200GB SATA HDD (only 1)
Short Story. PC crashed while typing all that.
Get new pc to shop, built it myself. Assemble everything, works fine when I boot. Boot on Windows XP Pro CD, after loading files cant find HD and reboot. I try to plug SATA drive on another SATA connector on MBoard just in case this one is grilled, setup still cant recognize. Out of idea I google help, find some forums post about it. Says I need to download NVIDIA SATA driver here :

Dont have a floppy. Try to find another solution. Find some post about how a guy bypassed it by turning off IDE/SATA in BIOS. Do that, run setup fine. Need to format a part for WinXP, only find 120gb free. Format, install on it stilll gunna try to fix it later.
Get on WinXP, download service pack 2 and install it just in case it might see the rest of my HD after. Reboot turn on IDE/SATA, Doesnt work. I try using NVIDIA CK804 SATA RAID Driver 6.66 35.25 MB from the link I posted above thinking it might be a Windows SATA driver installer. Reboot turn on IDE/SATA, Doesnt work. Seems like Im stuck getting a floppy.
Next day, I get a floppy from my friend. Plug it, works fine. Download NVIDIA driver from live above. Reboot, boot with WinXP CD press F6 to install SATA driver. Load NVDIA CLASS ROOT and NVIDIA Boot Agent driver to install them, reinstall windows over it. Reboot turn on IDE/SATA, Doesnt work. Out of idea I post here begging for help :|.
I dont know how SATA/Raid/Array works at all, I know theres an utility for raid when I boot, says to press F10 but I dont really know what to do in that. No CD/floopy disk/manuals came with HD. Please can u help me, need a easy step tutorial how to set it up :|. If I could keep my current part and just find rest of HD, that would be pleasing cause installing is long :x. Sorry for my lack of full sentence, pc crashed and had to retype all this >< Plus Im not good at english D:.
Anyway please help me out anyone ;o;
