Alright, so first, my specs...
MB: Gigabyte GA-K8U
New SATA drive: Maxtor SATA II/300 16MB CACHE 7200RPM
OS: Windows XP SP2
So, like many other frustrated people out there, I'm trying to do a clean boot install of Windows Xp on a new SATA drive with no luck thus far. I bought an external Floppy, loaded the RAID drivers on it, loaded them into XP via F6 at blue screen, and when Xp goes to restart, I get hung up yet again. What the hell can I do here??? I've been working on this for nearly a week now.
After writing Gigabyte, they told me to place the jumper on the drive, because the GA-K8U only accpets speeds up to 150gb/s... therefore, I've done that with no luck.
The sata bios are working and I have my onboard sata mode 'on' in the MB bios, and the mode is set to 'raid'
Please help!! Thanks
