How do I install Windows 2000 from its bootable CD to a machine thathas no IDE HDDs?

[Phillip Pi]

Hello,

I am not a computer hardware expert so I might be missing something. How
do I install Windows 2000, from its bootable CD [IDE DVD-ROM drive], to
computer (ASUS K8V SE Deluxe; 512 MB; Athlon 64 3200+ 754 CPU)? The
installer was unable to find any HDDs. I think the HDD is SATA because I
see VIA SATA BIOS and I use Hyperion 4in1 Pro drivers. XP Pro. is fine
on this computer.

Thank you in advance.

Did you load the device driver for the SATA controller during setup (by
pressing F6)?

No, I wasn't aware of this. Where do I get the SATA controller? VIA?

Thanks. I got it installed. Man, this is frustrating to get all these
drivers! I guess the motherboard and its onboard motherboard are too new
for Windows. Also, need to fix video, sound, etc.

Yep Windows 2000 was never aware of serial ATA.
