New member here with XP install issue - I hope someone can help!
Built a new system yesterday:
- ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe (flashed the latest bios version from ASUS website)
- P4 3.0 Ghz 800Mhz FSB
- ASUS AGP V7700 Video Card
- 1GB Kingston Ram (256x4)
- 2 120GB Seagate SATA Barracuda drives
I installed the two SATA drives on the Promise Fastrack 378 as RAID 0 (performance). BIOS sees these drives, Seagate's hard drive utility sees them, but XP cannot.
Here is what I did...
- Booted from CD
- Held F6 down to specifiy additional third party RAID/SCSI devices
- When prompted, pressed 'S' and loaded latest drivers from 3.5" floppy (from ASUS web site)
- Setup loaded the WinXP drivers from floppy
- Pressed enter to continue setup
- Setup then continued to load a plethora of addtional drivers from CD (including other SCSI drivers)
- Once I got to the screen to hit enter to continue setup, I received the "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer" and it gave me the F3 option to quit setup.
I'm a bit baffled as to why the XP setup process won't utilize the driver I specified earlier.
Any ideas? Thanks!
