amd 3000+ on Abit socket 754 kv8 pro
2 gig value ram
ati x850 xtpe
hda mystique
Got my first SATA drive from newegg but I can't seem to get it to be recognized. I installed the VIA chipset drivers (the SATA one) but they don't seem to install right (reconfirmed proper drivers from abit). Device manager shows "the device could not be started".
I checked BIOS but couldn't find the under my IDE channel or anything...I have enable SATA in integrated peripherals but that doesn't seem to do anyting. ...there is an SATA slot I which I have it plugged into (SATA I)
Right now I am making a universal boot disc and seeing if that comes up with anything...I'm completely new to SATA and barely have a clue what RAID is (don't need it I don't think I'm just using this as a drive I don't do much massive copying or anything, plus I only have one other harddrive (80 gig)
Anyone think of anything? (I don't like abit motherboards anymore)
