Can't Install New Seagate 250GB SATAII...

[OzZie]

Recieved my new 250GB SATAII drive on thursday and ever since i cant get the windows setup to recognise the drive.

Basically, when i press F6 to install drivers, i press S to continue and then insert a floppy but it just pops back up asking you to insert the manufacturers disk or something. I've gone into my A8V CD and ran the setup tool that should create the files for the floppy but none seem to work (SATA or RAID on the promise ports - the red ones) Downloaded some SATA/RAID drivers from the net and still nothing.

Ive installed windows with an IDE HDD no probs and then ran the seagate wizard for it to find the new hard disk, but obviously i want windows on the new SATA drive and not the old one.

Basically im now stuck at a dead end.. I dont know how to get setup to recognise the drive even though the BIOS screens say it is there, and also windows itself does.

In need of desperate help asap.

Thanks.

Just trying those newer drivers you suggested.

Also, where is that 150 jumper setting? Is it the one on the Hard disk itself limiting the bandwidth or whatever it does?

Edit2: It's not a motherboard jumper setting is it?

Sorry, its the A8V Deluxe Rev2.

Edit: Send a webnote to OcUK asking them if they would replace the same product but in IDE form. Its not been 7 days since ordering so hopefully i will be able to get a swap unless i can get this to work.
