I've just finished building a new Athlon 64 system, and I can't get Windows 2000 to install.
The motherboard is an Abit KV8 Pro, which came with SATA drivers on a floppy. The hard drive is an OEM Western Digital SATA (WD1600JD). The BIOS detects the drive just fine, and I've formatted it with WD's Data Lifeguard, so I'm sure it's correctly hooked up, but the Windows 2000 installer can't find it. Abit's included drivers don't work, the updated drivers on Abit's site don't work, and the SATA drivers on Western Digital's site don't work.
I've already updated the BIOS, and I don't have any other SATA capable systems to further test the drive.
I'm not sure what else I can try.
Does anyone have any ideas?
