Win XP Pro and sata conflict

[EricB]

the textsetup.oem is the most important file. it head you to the drivers. can you post a picture of your floppy disc and maxtor cd?

 

[pdxsk8er]

Not really! I don't know how to do so!

 

[EricB]

give me your hard drive model and email. I will download the floppy drivers and email them to you

 

[pdxsk8er]

I don't really kno the hard drive model. It's a 60G Maxtor 8M Cache Sata drive, thats all I know, I'll PM you my email.

 

[EricB]

I need the model. can you look on the hard drive

try this too from your mobo cd. I posted this months ago for a person having problem like you. it should work from the maxter cd too. only pay attention to the flast part of the names.

My mobo didn't come with floppy. here are my instructions from notepad

my 200 gig is a 6Y200PO Maxtor has a lot of drives. I see if I can find it though

 

[pdxsk8er]

OK, well I'm gonna research a little too. I think my bios needs a good ol' flashing to 1014 instead of 1010.

 

[EricB]

let me check on something. I got the same mobo as you

with bios 1012 and I have a sata 160. it not my boot drive though

 

[pdxsk8er]

I got it working, it needed the ULsata from the maxtor cd and the txtsetup.oem file from the promise folder. Thanks for all the help! If any other problems occore I'll post it here.
