XP pro / Soyo MB / Sata HD install problem

[er_c]

I cannot get a new install of XP pro to recognize my new Maxtor Sata
6Y120M0 HD. I have researched posts and done everything i could find
with no luck.

Soyo KT-600 Dragon Plus / Maxtor 120g 6y120m0 HD

The Bios recognizes drive. The MB has no problems with it, current
bios, etc.

Existing XP pro system recognizes new sata drive. i even formated and
assigned a drive letter, but when I use the XP cdrom to install, it
says no partitioned drives available.

I tried the F6 floppy driver install and get a nice error about
ULSATA.SYS causing an unexpected error line 2108 in
d:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.

Any clues guys and gals?

Your on the right track. You need to install the ultra
driver.
Are you booting from the cd or the 6 boot floppies which
can be obtained from the Microsoft website? If you are
using the floppies you may have downloaded the wrong set.
If you do not have SP1 installed then you will need to
download the non SP1 setup boot disks creation tool.

I have the xp pro cd, no SP1.

You must create 2 floppies, one with the HD reconition drivers from
the \raid\sata\driver\winxp. (all files)

and another floppy with all the folders and files from the
\raid\hpt372 directory so XP can finish the windows install.
