Yes, you can install a SATA drive in but you must do the following settings:
ATA On Chip Config: Native
ATA Mode: SATA Only
PATA Keep Enabled: Yes
PATA Channel Selection: No
Set SATA as RAID: No
The rest at defaults.
Next, you can't copy and paste windows from drive to drive as there'll be alot of i386 and winnt/system32 files being locked, thus unable to be copied over.
not looking to copy &paste but will use software that comes with sata drive or some other program to copy win xp to sata drive. will that work?

Error BSOD when installing SATA drive on 1 & 2 (RAID 0 on 3/4 AOK)

Hi,
I have successfully installed Win XP Pro on 3 & 4, & wanted to install a Maxtor 120GB SATA drive on 1 or 2. When I do this, & enable bios on 1 & 2, windows loads then prompts for a reboot due to the install of new hardware. After posting & whilst Win is starting, it BSOD with IRQ_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS etc. I shut down computer, remove SATA drive, alter settings back to before in Bios & select last successful settings & computer reboots AOK. This happens on both SATA 1 & 2.
Is there a way of having the SATA storage disk on 1 or 2. Is it best to hot install it with the O/S up, after having changed BIOS settings to enable SATA 1 & 2?

To answer my own question, while computer is turned off, (after taking anti-static precautions) plug power to sata drive.
Connect sata data cable to M/board, do not connect sata data cable to drive.
Enable sata 1 & 2 in bios, boot to windows.
Drivers are installed for device.
Then carefully plug sata data cable into sata drive.
Windows detects new hardware.
Enter Disk Management & partition/format to your hearts content.
Thanks to those who had a look at my post. Hope this helps someone else.

Installing sata drives

inel 2.8 prescott
while formatting my hard drive the instructions came up press F6 to install SCSI or raid drivers i put the floppy disc in (intel IAA RAID driver). the computer read the floppy, but when icame to check the device manager there were no SCSI or raid controllers. does this mean the sata drive has not installed?
thanks geoff

Are you sure that your mobo is the 845 series and not the 865 or 875 series as ICH4 on 845 series doesn't have onboard SATA support? Or is that you are using a SATA add on card for the SATA HDDs?

How do I install SATA driver?

I've got a Raptor and I'm running it in a K8N Neo Platinum. I've also got a Sony DVD recorder.
Which SATA do I hook the drive to and which IDE do I hook the recorder to?
Also, how do I install the SATA driver? I don't want to use RAID so do I still need to intall a SATA driver?
I ran into a problem when I was installing Windows XP and it said it couldn't load the device driver for my diskdrive and CD ROm Drive. I'm not sure why but I thought it might have something to do with SATA.
Thank you,

Oh man it's been a long 24 hours! The reason I'm just getting back is because I removed my IDE HDD from this PC and installed it in my new K8N Neo. Well, it wasn't the SATA HDD causing the problem. I then removed my PS from this computer and installed it in the new one. Well, it wasn't the PS. Then I swapped my new PC3500 Mushkin Enhanced Memory 1GB (2x512) for my 1GB of Corsair XMS PC3200 in my old PC. Well, XP installed without a problem. It was my DAMN RAM. I guess it's bad or the Neo just doesn't like it. Anyway, I finally got this computer (old) back up and running so I could post.
I put the Mushkin back in the Neo PC and tried to install XP again with just one stick at a time. It still wouldn't let me. I then lowered the speed of the memory down to 166Mhz from 200Mhz with one stick and XP loaded without a problem.
So what do you guys think? Is my memory bad or does this board just not like Mushkin PC3500?
Will I get hit will a restock fee from newegg when I return this memory and what memory should I get to replace it?

Question installing SATA drive on Delta 2 Platinum mobo

I just got a brand spankin' new Raptor 74gb SATA drive I will be installing on my brand new MSI K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum mobo, and I have a few questions.
First off, I don't have any desire to run a RAID configuration but I want the SATA drive to be my boot drive. So my question is, do I still have to enable RAID in the bios? Or is just Enabling SATA enough?
Second, when I go to install WinXP, do I have to hit F6 and install any drivers?
The mobo did come with a floppy that reads
G72-NVSA020
Nforce3 SATA Raid Driver (For WinXP only)
If I do need drivers, does that floppy have the drivers I will need when installing windows? Or is there a place to download the latest ones I will need?
I am slipstreaming XP SP2 into my XP installation.
Also, I've read that I'm not supposed to have any PATA drives hooked up when installing windows which makes sense.
oh yeah...one more thing...i'm going to be using an AMD xp 3200+ 400mhz bus processor and all I have is three sticks of Crucial PC2100 DDR memory that I wanted to use since I already own it. Is this a bad idea?
thanks a bunch

Thanks for the quick response...I'll be building my system this weekend...I'm waiting for my PC Power & Cooling Silencer 470 ATX power supply that will arrive tomorrow. This bad boy should give plenty of juice (26a on 12v) to power my rig. It's good to know the pc2100 can be used to get the system up and running, but I'll be investing in some pc3200 shortly. I thought of a few more questions if you'd be kind enough to reply:
1) When I buy the PC3200, I plan on getting 2 sticks of 512 and running dual channel. I see you run Crucial ram. Are there any issues with Crucial ram running dual channel that you know of?
2) I have a SB live soundcard but plan on getting an Audigy 2 zs soon, should i just use the onboard sound for now? Is the onboard sound as good as an SB live?
3) Do you recommend using the MSI "LiveUpdate" feature to update bios and drivers, or should I just go with the Nvidia UDP v5.10 and update bios manually? Or maybe I don't even want to update the bios?
Thanks again
-Mike

Novice - How To Install SATA Drive on K8N Neo2 Platinum

My current 2 SATA drives are almost at max capacity and hooked up to SATA 3 & 4 slots. How do I go about installing a new SATA drive on slot 1 or 2? I thought SATA was plug n play and all I had to do was enable SATA ports 1 to 4 in BIOS. I've searched online and found articles pertaining to limitations on SATA slots 1&2, RAID configuration, VT8237 & Promise 20579 drivers --- and I am utterly confused
This is the hard drive that I've been eyeing. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822148144 I only want to attach it to a bay in my PC and use it as storage, not install Windows. Can someone provide clear cut directions for a novice like me on how to install it?

Enable the sata ports, which you intend to use with it.
Jumper drive to sata I mode.
Connect new drive.
Boot into windows and go to disk management where you will see it listed.
You will need to partition and format it there.
Once completed it will show up in My Computer and be ready to use.

Fresh Windows XP Install SATA Driver Error

I'm trying to install WinXP on a new SATA Maxtor 120GB drive, and get the following error after pressing F6 and specifying the additional device:
"File TXTSETUP.OEM caused an unexpected error (1024) in line 1742 in d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c."
The drive is on the ICH5 SATA controller in the first position. It is recognized by the BIOS correctly, along with the combo drive on the P-ATA controller.
Any suggestions???

I really don't know the ICH5 well enough to determine if there is an optimal reason why you select the PATA only or the SATA only to match the primary boot device. In the boot sequence you can boot in whatever order you want, and with the F11 key you can boot off whatever device you want. Whatever works is usually OK, but when things don't work, try the right way at least once

Problem installing SATA driver

Did a clean install of my system today and ran into many problems >.<
I used maxblast bootable CD to partition my 300gb maxtor drive.
Used the floppies to setup XP pro and pressed f6 at start.
Only have 1 drive Drive and it is plugged into the 1st SATA port, so I used the nvidia disk that came with my MB and chose the bottom option from the menu of 2 choices ( nvidia nforce storage controller )
Windows setup then recognised the correct partitions maxblast had created and allowed me to install XP onto my choosen one.
Once this was installed everything seemed to be working fine.
Installed SP2 and all windows updates.
Then I decided to try the nvidia unified driver from the nvidia website ( didn't install anything from the MSI supplied disk )
That seemed to totally kill my PC on reboot, it can up with some startup screen I had never seen before, all black with a small rectangle with a windows logo in it. It hung on this screen after a while.
Upon next reboot it would just bluescreen before getting fully into windows.
So I though ho-hum, time to try again.
Did everything the same, and at the point just after using nvidia disk during installation for the 2nd time & putting the XP CD in the drive ( the part where it says setup is copying files ) My PC would bluescreen really fast and reboot with a message ntldr is missing.
I tried this over and over always getting the same results, I also tried installing both the options from the floppy with the same result.
The only way I could set it up was without hitting F6 and letting windows get on with it. Trouble is, once it gets to the partition part it only see's my HD as 120gb or something similar, and doesnt see the partitions I created in maxblast.
Once in XP I'm able to reclaim the rest of the HD space though.
Then I just used all the drivers from the CD included with the MB, and all seems to work well apart from I was getting a message saying my USB stick drive could operate faster with USB 2 ports - Got the same message in all the ports, but it seemed to dissapear after I uninstalled a entry in device manager that was a yellow ? next to USB device.
Is there something I'm doing wrong in the setup using the floppy disk? - perhaps the floppy is dodgy?
It would be good to get it working like that, as I wouldn't have to wait ages while I format and partition the drive within XP, maxblast does it almost instantly.
Also would be really good to know what drivers to install after XP has just been installed and updated.
Should I use the CD that comes with MB, or try the nvidias again?
Latest version bios used (1.4) with the raid options disabled and no overclocking at all.

Still no luck being able to install those drivers during install.
I even tried the method in the sticky thread where I enabled RAID on the channel the drive was in and pressed F10 at boot > hit right arrow key etc.
System would bluescreen at the moment the welcome to setup section appears where you choose partition to install on etc.
In the end I disabled raid in bios again and didn't use the drivers floppy ( I'd also used the latest from that unified driver download as also mentioned in the sticky )
Using the slipstreamed sp2 installer windows actually recognised the full size of the drive now on the setup section ( the screen it would bluescreen at with the SATA drivers installed from floppy )
I got the nforce maxwell and realtek drivers installed from the CD that came with MB and all is fine, so I'll count my blessings and leave it as is....for now
I do wonder why it wont allow me those drivers though, I checked my HD with powermax uility and it seemed fine, but something must be dodgy somewhere. I just hope it doesn't rear it's ugly head while I'm in the middle of doing some work or anything.

Do you HAVE to hit F6 when installing SATA Drives?

This has been asked alot I'm sure, but do you have to hit F6 during XP installation? I'm using a Maxtor 120 SATA drive

Short answer: No
long answer : no because What if I don't want a RAID?

Cannot use IDE drive with SATA drive

I just installed a 60GB Maxtor Serial ATA hard drive in VIA port 1. However, when I install my previous Maxtor 20GB EIDE hard drive in IDE1, bootup hangs at the "Serial Ch. 0/Ch. 1 device" detection screen.
Is there a trick to this??? I really need the data off my IDE drive. How do I get an IDE drive to exist along side a pre-installed SATA drive?
And does it matter if the IDE drive is set for Master or Slave?

The IDE drive should be set to "master" or "slave" depending on which connector of the cable you're using. The IDE cable included with the board clearly labels which is which.
You didn't say but I'll assume you have a K8T Neo.
If you still cannot get it to work, you should try the Promise controller.

865pe-Neo2-V Installing Barracuda Sata drive

Trying to install a 400GB barracuda 7200.10- tried using on board sata port 1 but no joy. so bought a silicon image pci card sil 3114, but still unable to get that install correctly to recognise the sata drive.
have tried various configurations of ATA settings in the BIOS but with no effect. ???
but when i look in device manager the sil 3114 sata raid controller is okay but the sil 3114 satalink controller has the yellow !, i have tried updating the driver it says it has the latest.
would appreciate if anyone could shed some like in where i'm going wrong- other than opening up the pc
Thanks
Paul

Read Moan Guide 1st
You need to limit your SATA2 drive to SATA1 mode(since your board doesn't support SATA2), that can be done with HDD jumper configuration:
If still doesn't work, check your BIOS version:
- BIOS reported incorrect CPU temperature.
- Support HDD size over 136.9GB.

Pavilion g6-1096sa - Replacement Hard Drive - Windows 7 Fresh Install - Sata Issue

A friend dropped her HP Pavilion g6-1096sa Notebook PC and the hard drive has failed (or at least I think it has).
Of course, this was before burning the restore CD's.
Before I get her to purchase a new hard drive, I wanted to install a vanilla copy of Windows 7 on a spare drive that I have (to prove 100% that the drive is faulty) but it's failing with :-
" This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk, ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in computer's bios menu ". The installer sees the drive, but won't install onto it.
It's an old 80 GB SATA II drive that I had lying around at work, which should work fine.
I've checked the bios and I can't see any options for the hard disk. I'm guessing that the bios is pretty basic, and you can't just boot into the sata controller to enable AHCI support or similar. I would have thought that AHCI support is already enabled or the original drive wouldn't have booted.
Does this model need a specific sata driver. I've checked through the driver downloads, and cannot find one for Windows 7 (found the XP version though).
Do I need a driver, or do I need to do something in the BIOS?
PS: If I put the original disk back in, I can start to load Windows 7 on it from a bootable download from Microsoft's website, but crashes at random intervals. (I think the clicking noise is giving it away though).

No one have any information on the BIOS or SATA for this model :-(

How do i install sata hard drive?

ok, i am using right now my sony dvdrw on ide1 as master and ata hard drive on ide2 as master, booting to the hard drive. i am going to install an sata hard drive and use that as the boot drive, the normal ata as a storage drive only. how will i install the sata drive? do i install it to sata 1 and then durring the install of windows xp tell it to hit f6 for third party scsi drivers and then use the intel sata floppy driver disk that came with my board? it's the MSI-6728 board. or is there anything special i need to do in the bios or what?
oh yeah. what connection for power should i use? my powersupply has sata and normal, so should i use the sata power connector? and then what's this about legacy or something in the bios, or am i wrong?

Well first of all, you dont install the Intel S-ATA Driver Disc unless you are going to create a RAID Array....Go into the BIOS and on the "On-Chip IDE Configuration" Page Set the Options like this.........
On-Chip ATA Operate Mode : Legacy
ATA Configuration : P-ATA+S-ATA
Keep S-ATA Enabled : (Greyed Out Yes)
Keep P-ATA Enabled : (Greyed Out Yes)
P-ATA Channel Selection : Both
Combined Mode Operation (At first you have to set this to P-ATA Channel 1, then switch after you Move Windows to S-ATA)
Configure S-ATA As RAID : No
Then you are Going to have to Install the OS on The SATA and Just Move the Files that you want to save from the P-ATA HDD and then Remove the P-ATA Drive from the "Boot Device" List in the BIOS....
You really should List Your Full System Specs. When you POST...Create a "Signature" with your Forum User Control Panel...........Sean REILLY875

Windows 7 Clean Install won't detect SATA Drive

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my desktop that is currently running Vista and XP on a dual boot. I want to eliminate the dual boot and do a clean install with Windows 7. I have a Western Digital SATA drive WD2500KS. If I try to install "custom" it will not detect the drive and wants to load drivers. If I try to upgrade it shows the drive and both partitions and want's to know which partition. I ran the Windows 7 compatibility program and it shows the drive and no issues pertaining to installation. How do I get a clean install to recognize the hard drive? Processor is Intel Core2 Quad CPU 2.4 Ghz.

What machine is this? homebuilt or OEM?
Do you have a Dell computer? It appears that the built-in Dell SATA drivers aren't recognized during the Windows 7 extraction portion of setup (when your BIOS is set with RAID Autodetect / AHCI). Might also work for a non-Dell PC:
note: you should install the latest BIOS update from Dell's support.dell.com website first, or your manufacturers website for a non-Dell computer.
1. Boot into the BIOS (press F2 while the Dell splash screen is showing, will be different for a non-Dell).
2. Go to Drives > SATA Operation. (will be different for a non-Dell)
3. Change from "RAID Autodetect / AHCI" to "RAID Autodetect / ATA".
4. Press escape, choose Save / Exit.
Also, play it safe, shut down your PC and disconnect all USB devices (except the keyboard / mouse, they do not need to be disconnected) before trying to reinstall.

How to Install a 2nd SATA drive

Hi,
I asked this before and got many views to my question but no responses, so I thought I would try one more time.
I have a PM G4 Gigabit ethernet and have two ATA drives installed and one SATA drive installed via a SATA PCI card.
What I would like to know is how do you or can you install a second SATA drive on top of the one that's already there? There is room for it to fit on top of the one I have installed, but the sled only provides for one to be mounted. The ATA sled is configured for two.
Any way to get a sled that fits where the SATA drives are installed, or how is that done? My PCI card does have an available SATA connector.
Sorry for the seemingly basic question, but I really don't know the answer.
Thanks,
Bob

Thnaks for the response David. Well, bot do I feel silly. I now see what I somehow never saw before. there is a space in between the ATA driove slots and the SATA drive slot whicvh is where the 4th drive fits. Well, Duuuhhhh?
I have thought of going with a SATA external drive, thing is there are not many SATA external drives out there, also would need a SATA pci card for that. I see that Firm Tek is just now getting into that so I may wait a while. Its' a 160GB SATA drive so it would be a nice addition to backups, testing drives etc.
So what part of Georgia?
