Hi all, yesterday my brother kindly gave me a grand to build him a system (just the case and everything inside) this is what I got him...
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 64 bit Retail inc.fan (3 yr.warr.) Skt 754
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 6.1 Surround Sound Card OEM
80 GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA 7200rpm UDMA 150 8MB Cache
512MB DDR400 PC3200 RAM (major brand)
Pioneer 16x 120-S Slotload DVD IDE oem
Pioneer DVR-107 DVD +/-R/RW Beige 8X IDE OEM (Drive only)
Cooler Master TAC-T01 Wave Master aluminium +2x fans USB, mic, audio firewire NO PSU
Abit KV8-MAX3 Skt 754 VIA KT800 8xAGP + SATA RAID + Giga LAN +USB2 +F/Wire +6 ch. audio ATX
ThermalTake Butterfly 480W (Black) PurePower,8cm Case Fan+ Dual LED +Fan Speed Control,SATA Ready Plus an Asus RX800 Pro 256mb Anyway, I built it all, it fell together nicely, everything plugged in, I plugged the SATA cable into the SATA 1 socket and used the SATA power cables from the PSU to power it, anyway...
I briefly fiddled about in the BIOS to set it up a bit, it doesn't detect the HDD, but I know why, because you need to install the SATA drivers from a floppy disk, right?
Ok, so I put the Windows XP Pro disk in, the blue screen comes out and it says "Would you like to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID Device, Press F6" (or something like that), I Press F6 and after a moment I get another screen saying "blah blah blah, press "S" if you want to install the drivers for this device" .....ok, so I put the floppy disk (which came with the mobo) entitled "SATA DRIVERS DISK" into the floppy drive, I press enter for it to detect it, and it then says.
"There are no drivers on this disk which relate to your device" (or something similar)
Huh?? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, and he's kinda coming round tomorrow to pick it up, so I need to get this fixed ASAP please.
RSVP ASAP!!!
Cheers :grinthumb
