Question

SATA Hard Drive vs New XP Install

Asked by: leonard430

Greetings,
  Like others, I'm having problems with a fresh XP install on my Mobo and SATA Harddrive.   I am able to install and operate Windows 98, just unable to upgrade.  I receive the infamous "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer."

System Info:
  ASUS K8V SE Deluxe motherboard
  Seagate ST3160023AS 160 GB SATA hard drive
  Windows XP Home Edition (no SP 1)

Items I have done:
1.  Load Windows 98 - done
     a.  Hard drive is detected and usuable.
2.  Push F6 and load ASUS driver "WinXP Promise FastTrak 376/378 Controller" - problem persist
3.  Update BIOS - only initial release for K8V SE board
4.  Ensure SATA is plugged into correct slot (SATA1), not RAID SATA plug (PRI_SATA)

For those who are willing to help, here's the website for the ASUS Mother Board

http://www.asus.com/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=K8V%20SE%20Deluxe&Type=All

I have tried
  378raid_100137.zip  
  378ata_100104528.zip
  4in1_449.zip
  VIARAID220d.zip

I am just shotgunning now.  :(  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

- Mike
