find it.

here is my pc config

MB - a8v
harddrive - segate 160Gb(single drive) SATA.

You need to press F6 during the install when prompted and have the Sata
Drivers on a floppy disk.

Advanced -> Onboard Device Configuration -> Onboard Promise Controller
-> Operating Mode

Set to IDE Mode

If you are not planning on overclocking I would use the Via Controller
instead.

Are you sure you have the Promise Sata Drivers on the floppy and not the Via
Sata Drivers ?
You also have to make sure which Sata Connections you have the hard drive
connected to. (Either the Via or Promise)

I am not sure what is the difference a8v and a8v deluxe.

F6).

but i find the boot piority menu in the bios there is one drive seems
like VIS 6xxx 1st HDD. what it is? and i tried press tab to the menu
config SATA RAid but no response if i press any key.

pls help

Hello, tHe!

Could you elaborate? I had problems when I used the Promise drivers so ended
up with setting my RAID0 SATA array on the Via Controller. Works great but
I've not yet tried O/C'ing.


Thanks,

thanks all , i don't why , now the MB can be installed win xp.
i just try to copy the driver from the asus cdrom (several times ,
there are many driver files).

however, the cdrom autorun utility don't have THAT DRIVER ANYWAY.(

thanks again

paul

Lot's of reports that the VIA controller chokes after a 10% speed up.
I use the Promise one so I don't have first hand knowledge, check out
viaarena.com for more info.
