I have an Intel D845PEBT2 motherboard with an IDE hard drive and Win 2000.

I added a new Seagate SATA.
Used Disk Manager in Administrative Tools to format.
It is now H drive (NTFS).
OK now I try and load XP to it and during the install, on the blue
screen, it shows my existing "C" drive but the H drive is G and it will
not let me install on it. It shows it there as far as size goes.

In BIOS the only SATA settings are RAID and boot. I have tried these
setting both enabled and disabled to no avail.
In fact I didn't see the drive listed at all in BIOS under "boot
sequence" option.

I can move files on and off this drive while operating in Win2000 but I
can't install XP on it.

Any ideas?

What error message do you see if you pick the G: partition to install
on?

Boot Menu / Serial ATA Boot: Enabled
Boot Menu / Serial ATA Raid: Disabled
Save Changes
Boot Menu / Hard Disk Drives Submenu: Move SATA drive to the top if
you want to boot from the drive.
