| 1246333 | 2011-12-02 05:18:00 | You could just turn off AHCI if ya not using RAID and stuff like that. Or need real time plug and remove/add of HDDs while it is running (for SATA). Then you may not need the motherboard drivers. Just shove the Windows CD/DVD and it goes. IMO for just one computer, why bother with slipstreaming when you could just install the Windows CD/DVD and the SPs and updates and just make a System Image ....... Then there will be no need to actually run setup.exe. Over time there will be continous updates and probably more SPs. Just create another Systems Image .... |

| 1246334 | 2011-12-02 05:25:00 | The brand of mobo is a ASUS M2N-MX SE. I've put a jumper on the HDD it hasn't done anything yet. the drive is not yet recognized. I am still looking for drivers and I switched the ACHI off. Keep me posted. Thank you | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1246335 | 2011-12-02 05:29:00 | What's a SP? | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1246336 | 2011-12-02 05:31:00 | OK, well it looks like it supports SATA 2 according to the ASUS site. So the hdd isnt the prob. I would look under the hdd option in the BIOS. Go into whatever SATA port, and see if it picks it up. Only other reason the BIOS cant see it, is you havent connected the SATA power and data cable. If the power cable is connected is the cable from the PSU or is it a molex / SATA adapter ? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1246337 | 2011-12-02 05:33:00 | SP is short for Service Packs .. . | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1246338 | 2011-12-02 06:50:00 | Please check one setting -- Start the Computer, enter the BIOS, Using the arrow keys, Main Page, IDE configuration, Under Serial-ATA devices, make sure its actually enabled. That Board is capable of running SATA 1 & 2 Drives. As its been mentioned it HAS to detect in the BIOS first. |

| 1246339 | 2011-12-02 07:11:00 | Also if it's detected then it will want formatting. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1246340 | 2011-12-02 07:19:00 | I have a 80GB SATA HDD already so SATA devices are enabled. The cords are fine because I use them for my SATA 80GB HDD. Whats odd is that sometimes the BIOS picks it up then when I try to install XP it says there is nothing there. All cords are connected. The BIOS picks up my 80GB fine though. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1246341 | 2011-12-02 07:22:00 | I know it will need formatting. To format the BIOS need to recognize the drive first. I've looked on the seagate website and found no drivers for the 7200.11 HDD. Any suggestions of where to look? | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
