SATA with Asus P4P800S-SE

[Mirko]

Hello
I have the following MB: Asus P4P800S-SE

I will install a new sata hard disk, so I'm not interested in raid, also
because my chipset (848P) doesn't support sata raid...

Do I need of MAKEDISK.EXE file to install my hard disk? When I connect a
SATA hdd, does WinXP installer allow me to install Windows in my new sata
hdd?

In MB's cd there is not this file!

So Makedisk.exe is only useful if I want to create a Sata Raid?!?

Thanks in advance!

I installed many Asus P4P800 boards (I think similar to yours) with SAT
discs and never had to use something extra to have it running. Just plug and
play.

So, what is the utility of makedisk.exe ?

In fact, in my cd there is not makedisk.exe
