Re: Major Problem with SATA Card and Drive

You will not see the Bios of your Rosewill SATA controller within your mb bios, your not suppose to. The Rosewill SATA controller has its own BIOS, that Bios boots after your mb POST AND BOOTS then detects hard ware controllers/bios. make sure you have boot (working windows hard drive) device set properly. If you system cant read hd off your SATA controller card, I don't suggest you install/or use it to boot windows off your sata controller.

Make sure you have a working bootable windows working with your motherboard. Attached all hd devices you want to the Rosewill SATA controller. Boot to windows. Install your ROSEWILL SATA CONTROLLER DEVICE DRIVERS, this is a must, otherwise anything you connect to that card WILL NOT BE READ BY WINDOWS. As you said, the drivers are located on a floppy disk? (cant run floppy), you can do two things.

1. (easier method) Download the drivers for your Rosewill controller in Rosewill website remember the series/mod #, if its not located in Rosewill website for what ever reason, google it

2. (hard method) find someone/some place still has a floppy drive connected and working, bring your own flash drive, copy files from floppy to flash drive.

install the drivers.


good luck
