I really can't answer for the newest motherboards. On my newest (1 year-old) mobo, SATA drives aren't recognized at all by Windows setup without the F6 driver install. I suspect it has a lot to do with how advanced is the BIOS code.Originally Posted by Xiahou
That's the impression I get also, but then we're dealing with Microsoft's products here, aren't we?Originally Posted by Xiahou
From you problem description, it seems you're not installing from a slipstreamed SP2 CD. There's a good guide here (http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1626), as long as you have access to another PC that's working. You can even add the current SATA drivers to the final CD.
