Question on my HD after installing new MB

madcat1488 · Nov 13, 2005, 01:31 AM

It's been awhile since I installed my two Raptor HD's. I know when I built my pc and put them in I had trouble with my OS seeing them. I don't remember what it is I did to get them to be recognized. So I figured I would ask. I am installing a new Crossfire motherboard and graphics card and want to get some help with this. I wanted to do a fresh install so figured now would be the time to do it.

They're SATA Drives so you'll most likely need to either use the supplied Floppy with the SATA drivers or make one off the driver disc that comes with the mobo.

Just hit F6 when prompted by the Windows installation to choose it.

So the board should come with a floppy for sata...... cool thnx

Yeah, and if it doesn't there should be an option on the disk to make one.

if neither - the sata chip manufacturer's website will always have one
