I have been trying to do this the entire day with no results.
I have:
Chaintech S1689 ULi Socket 939 ATX Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 Venice Processor
2 Maxtor DiamondMax 10 300GB 7200rpm 16MB SATA-150 OEM Hard Drives
2gig Corsair PC 3200 DDR Ram
Chaintech GeForce 6200 Video Card
I formatted the drives using the Maxtor MaxBlast4 boot CD, making them compatible for WinXP (without SP1).
When I attempted to load the drivers from the motherboard cd, I came up with a system boot failure. I copied the driver folder contents onto a floppy and tried again. No luck.
I booted from the WinXP cd and pressed "F6" to install drivers from manufactors disk. When prompted, I installed the SATA and ATA drivers that I was instructed to install from the manufactors read me notes.
It appeared as if all was well. Then it came up on "Windows XP Startup".
When I pressed the enter key, the following message displayed:
"Setup did not find any hard disc drives installed in your computer".
I checked and re-checked all of my cabling and connections. When the computer boots up, it shows the 2 drives on Channel 1 and 2.
I'm at a loss here.
Can anyone offer any assistance?
Thanks.
