I built a new pc but have never worked with Serial ATA before, i am trying to get the HD up and going to install windows but having difficulties any input would be appreciated on how to install a Sata HD.

Is it being plugged in through the motherboard? Have you read up on it with the MB's manual?

SATA works just like SCSI. This means that it won't auto detect like an IDE drive. When you boot windows xp from CD, you'll see something like "press F6 to install a 3rd party scsi or raid driver." Do that, it should be on a disc that came with your motherboard. If not, you'll need to download it from the mobo manufacturer website and put it on diskette.

Once the driver is installed, windows installation program will continue normally. Hope this helps.

NUNN sucks.........


Whoo where you been hiding dude

ya i found that out but problem i was having after that was it was not pulling drivers off the disk so i had to make a couple floppys for the Sata drivers to be loaded but thanks for the help got it up and running.

NUNN i am disappointed you no come back or nothing ..............
