A7N8X deluwe SATA problem

[O. Govaerts]

Hi all,

I bought a A7N8X deluxe board and a Maxtor 120 gig Sata drive.
Installed the raid driver.
Now this is strange to me :
I can see my Sata disk in th BIOS.
I can see the disk in software like Partition Magic.
I can see my disk in the device manager.
But I cannot see the Sata in my explorer. (I have two IDE disks running as
well, without problems)
I already did a BIOS update, without any changes.
Any idea what's wrong here ?

Thanks in advance !

Have you formatted the SATA disk?

Partition...
Explorer, does not actually show 'disks' (except when dealing with removable
media). What you see in explorer, is a 'partition'. Whenever a new drive is
attached, it will need partitioning, and then formating, before anything can
be seen in explorer.
The actual method to access the tools for this, will depend on the OS
version you are using.

Best Wishes

Under Win98 and WinXP you can see unformatted extended partitions. Don't
know if primary too, but...i'll check it. )

Greets and Merry Christmas to all.
