hey guys, if you can help me on this one I'll really appreciate it
managed to buy the parts for a new computer, its an AMD athlon 3500+ venice, with a gigabyte K8n-SLI motherboard and a SATA hard drive amongst otherthings
Knocked all together fine, but as im installing the computer wont recognise the SATA hard-drive when im installing windows XP (home edition). Its a new model motherboard so I would have thought it would (Nforce4)
Tried downloading some drivers for the motherboard from gigabytes website and hitting F6 during the XP installation, but after using the 2 drivers the supplied no joy. I have no idea what to do, I dont wan to buy a new hard drive as my Hard-drive is a really nice seagate SATA drive
anyone got any hints as to how i can get round this? i did a bit of reading and saw some existing issues with windows XP and the H-drive but the fix they suggest is the one i tried (downloading drivers).
