All,

Trying to install Windows XP (SP1) on the below disk. I have looked on Seagate's website but found no driver. Has anyone else got one ou there?

Seagate ST380817AS Barracuda 80GB 7200RPM SATA/150 8MB Cache - OEM

If i try and continue setup without loading the drivers it fails. All i have been able to find is a disk wizard which basically checks the drives, but doesn't contain any SATA drivers.

Tried Google as well t no avail.

Cheers
 
OK tried motherboard CD drvrs as well, still no luck. Loads the drivers fine, but then reports no drives found when trying to install Windows.

Drive is picked up in BIOs and is not above 137GB so wont need large HDD support

either the drivers are wrong or there is something up with the SATA HDD. Installing WinXP on a IDE disk now, will see if it detects in when in the O/S

anyone got a Barracuda SATA disk out there?
 
Please can anyone help?

Just tried the disk in my PC and it recognizes it in disk manager. I have the exaxct same motherboard as the other computer.

Same drivers loaded, the other PC recognizes it @ BIOS level, and using Seagate's boot disk i can see it, and format it to NTFS there, but i can't view it on the other PC in windows....
 
Single partitioned using maximum amount of space.

No, no floppy with motherboard, but there was a cd with a make floppies on it, which i tried and was able to install the driver, but still the drive wasn't picked up
