hi, i need help.
i tried to install windows xp on my sata hard drive. i did the F6 thing at the begining of the install but the files i copied wernt recognized by windows xp setup. i copied three files, a secutrity catalog, a system file, and a setup information file. the setup asked for an oem file or something like that. Anyway, i was wondering what files i need to copy to my floppy disk in order to install the drivers for my hard drive.
Thanx in advance for any help.

what you'll have to do is download the sata driver for your motherboard which can be found at:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
it will be under the "ide" section listed as:
Version 1.00.0.26 2003/10/22 update
OS Win98SE / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Win2003
Description Promise SATA378 Driver V1.00.0.26 for Windows 98SE/NT4.0/ME/2000/XP/2003
File Size 959.32 (KBytes)
Download from Global USA Europe China
put that on a floppy and boot up under F6. specify for the xp driver and you should be good to go.
hope that helps

I have found on Via chipset boards that sometimes you need to load both the SATA RAID and the SATA IDE drivers for XP to install and run correctly.
I do believe this board is one of these affected by this situation.
