The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SATA Hard Drive vs. New XP Install #2: ASUS A8V Deluxe mobo

Asked by RobinCham in Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: , ,

Trying to install XP to WD Raptor SATA drive with ASUS A8V Deluxe mobo.  Currently have WD IDE drive as boot drive0, WD Raptor recognized by BIOs and XP as drive1.  XP boots to active boot partition 1 of drive0, the default location of a new XP install that allows XP to work.  Like speed of Raptor, want to load XP on that drive.  Have old XP install on active partition 1 of WD Raptor from previous ASUS A7N8X Deluxe mobo with SI RAID controller - worked fine with Boot.ini set to boot from drive1, partition0 . . . unusual, yes, but it worked.  New mobo/drive configuration less accomodating.

Tried the following:

1. WD SATA connected to red Promise SATA1 connector
2. WD IDE connected to IDE primary connector
3. BIOs set to:
       OnChip SATA - Enabled
       OnBoard Promise Controller - Enabled; Operating Mode - OnBoard IDE Operation
4. On boot, VIA BIOs finds no drives (expected)
5. On boot, Promise BIOs finds WD Raptor drive (expected)
6. XP installed to WD IDE, boots fine.
7. Disconnect WD IDE drive.
8. Boot to XP CD.
9. F6, use floppy to add VIA Raid drivers, Promise 378ATA, Promise 378RAID drivers
10. XP asks to install Win new or Repair - choose Repair
11. FixBoot to set WD Raptor boot partition
12. Exit Recovery Console.
13. XP cannot find WD Raptor, F3 to exit.

Mobo specific suggestions welcome.

Since this is Friday, over weekend will try connecting WD Raptor to VIA mobo RAID connector,
see if WD Raptor found by BIOs and XP will install.Start Free Trial
