AN50R SerialATA Setup

[[A]MD]

I am having trouble getting windows XP setup too see my 120gb SerialATA drive. I want to setup windows on the drive but It just isn't finding it...do I need to setup drivers first, and if so how? The drive is seen fine in the RAID menu of the motherboard.

Thanks!

I know that on a new installation of XP you have to press f6 when prompted by XP to install the raid drivers that came with you hardware for it to recongnize the drive.

Which mobo?

I had a similar problem while setting up an IC7-G. There were sone funky settings that make you take over an IDE channel, or not have one, in which case nothing can see it. If it's an ICH5R southbridge, i.e. new Intel-processor motherboard, it's one step below the RAID screen.... I think. If it's an addon RAID chip, well, I can't help you.

If all else fails, read the instructions.
