Hi

Anyone out there had any experience of this board and specifically BIOS settings when using SATA II drive as a boot drive. I have had problems getting Win XP SP 2 to load on even though I have installed Drivers at the F6 point during install. Any help would be welcome as It is driving me nuts.

The drive is a MAxtor 200GB SAta II. 512MB Dual Channnel Memory.

I have slaved in an IDE drive and that works fine.

Thanks for replying - had tried all the stuff you mention but it turned out that I had got a faulty hard drive and that in turn trashed the mother board - Hum!!!!!!!!!!!
