Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

Tony, are you trying to install windowsXP from an original xp disk pre service pack's? I have installed windows xp on at least a dozen SATA only motherboards without any drivers. Also, I can't understand why your motherboard did not come with a cdrom. I don't think I have ever bought a new moth

It should be understood that, in the electronics/electrical industry, the law is very clear: even if the only thing that happened to a device is that the package was opened or the tape ripped, it cannot be sold as "new". And that includes ALL of the contents of the device. So it goes back to a

Yes, I tried that. Well, you _have_ to do this registry change to get Vista to use the SATA drivers at all. Oddly, on first boot it seemed to get all the way up, then it seemed to very nicely shut down. After that, nothing but 7B blue screens complaining about 'crcdisk.sys'. On Sat, Jun 7, 2008 a

Re: [CGUYS] WinXP & SATA

Well, you may have *thought* you did, but like me, you probably had EIDE mode enabled for the SATA ports. This works, but then none of the SATA ports are using AHCI, so they're degraded - e.g. slower and not hot swappable. By default WinXP (even SP3) doesn't come with SATA (AHCI) drivers, so you co

One problem I have noticed is that if you upgrade to v. 8 directly from v. 7.5, I've seen, twice now, desktops not loading as a result; you just sit there with a background and no icons. Manually uninstalling 7.5 and then installing 8 doesn't have this problem so far. I've had to do system restor
