Any help very much appreciated.
I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-9 with SATA. 2 x HDD. 1 Samsung 160Gb and one Seagate 200Gb.
I want to reinstall XP home SP2 from the Samsung and reinstall to my Seagate and then once fully up and running on the seagate transfer the files across and format the Samsung. Should be easy enough.
I can't install XP on the Seagate 200Gb hard disk. It wont see it when booting from the installation disk of XP home with the Samsung disconnected for safety. Tried F6 with latest drivers from Gigabyte and flashed the bios to the latest issue.
XP home meanwhile on the samsung can see seagate hard disk from within windows and the bios recognises them both.
So whats up ????? I've tried both Seagate tools run numerous tests and all working fine - Just windows can't see it when I try to install XP SP2
Its taken two weeks of evenings to get this far!
