Asus a8n sli premium & SATA HDD

[Guest]

Newly built AMD X2, ASUS SLI Premium, Four (4) HDD, (2) WD Raptor 74GB and
(2) Seagate 7200.8 300 GB. Connect to Sil Image SATA 1 - 4 ports. BIOS
recognizes, set up F4 Raid 0 and low format. Windows XP setup does not
recognize any HDD. ASUS indicates use driver from their Support CD but when
I boot from their support CD it does not produce the driver on flopyy as
their instructions indicate. Has any one else solved this problem? How?

I doubt that you need to boot from the CD. I think the intent is to
use an existing computer and run a Setup type module that will
create the Floppy disk driver you need to install XP. At the least
you'll need a computer and Windows Explorer to navigate through
the CD and find the \Drivers folder. Once there you'll likely find a
OS tree and inside the WinXP sub-folder should be the drivers
you need on a floppy. If you are installing XP-64, be sure to get
the drivers from the correct sub-folder.
