Hardware / Abit NF7-S & Maxtor 160GB SATA Issues
« on: December 26, 2003, 04:12:48 PM »
I really need your help guys. I'm on my second board as the first was DOA.
I've just done a new build and I've been trying to install Windows XP Pro from a bootable CD. Problem is it won't recognise my drive. When the installation screen pops up allowing me to press F6 to install SATA drivers, I do this and insert the floppy supplied and it continues but then I get the message no drives connected or does not recognise the drive or something like that. I've ran Powermax and get a 004 error code so I'm about to send the drive back under warranty.
Could it be something else though? I'm no expert but fairly competent with PC's. I've tried just about everything I can think of.
