Hey guys, I have a new SATA 3Gb/s 250G seagate barracuda that i want to be the primary drive on my new system. It is an Asus MoBo with an AMD 3800+ processor. i bought the SATA without a book or CD so i have no idea how to set it up. When i try to install Xp on it with the Xp disk it freezes up after it starts to load the files. windows asks, before that, whether i want to install raid drivers or something but i dont have a disk. do i need to install special drivers before i can install windows? and where can i get them? i checked seagate"s site and they only have startup drivers for ide drives. is there a setting on my bios that can help? im really lost so any help would be appreciated.
one more thing. an option on the bios for that drive asks if i want to enable 32 bit something is that good or bad? can i do it? i dont know, because even seagate's specs on their site dont say anything about bits.
thanks.
