The only way I can get to use the SATA drive is to use the Gigabyte
CD after XP is installed - F6
just ignores what I want to do like - installe the SATA drivers from
the CD - perhaps they are just
"Windows" software and won't run in the installation routine?
On the Gigabyte CD there should be a utility that creates a OEM
floppy disk with the SATA drivers on it. This must be done prior to
installing Windows & probably from another machine which I thought
was strange at the time but no you can NOT install the drivers on
boot up from a CD as this MUST be done from a bootable floppy drive.
BTW - Wayne.... You mentioned a Gigabyte MOBO similar to this (mine
has the P4 @ 3.2Ghz) with the
AMD 64 939 pin socket.
I have just bought a Gigabyte MOBO with a 3400 CPU "GA-K8NS-pro" -
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ S754 512M cache
2x512MB matched pair Corsair DDR Memory
Gigabyte S754 motherboard GA-K8NS pro
An ATI Radeon 9800pro 128MB AGP graphics card
480W power supply
Any good?
Should be great.
