I'm trying to install XP Pro onto a 250GB Hitachi SATA drive.
I load the Si3112 drivers from floppy during setup by pressing F6, format the HDD and start setup. When XP has finishes copying files and reboots it does not recognise the HDD and hangs on the "Press any key to boot from CD" screen. When the PC is booting the HDD is seen on the BIOS screen but if I enter the BIOS and look under boot devices it is not there.
I am using a silicon Image SATA PCI Card and if I boot into Vista on the same PC I can see my 250GB Hitachi
Any help appreciated
