You must check the BIOS settings in order to tell the PC that the SATA
can be used as a boot device. The settings are dependant on which
chipset the motherboard uses. Check with the manula or the
motherbaord manufacturer's web site.

You must check the BIOS settings in order to tell the PC that the SATA
can be used as a boot device. The settings are dependant on which
chipset the motherboard uses. Check with the manula or the
motherbaord manufacturer's web site.

hardware settings in bios are all set correctly I think...sata enabled, seta
drive primary boot drive, raid disabled, memory works fine...XP Pro sp2
installs fine and runs well on the IDE drive...Seta drive visible and
functioning as "d" drive on IDE installation ("c" drive)

Have also tried install with ide drive disabled/disconnected from
system...same problem ?
