Sata Hdd?!?!?
Does anyone have any experince with SATA HDD's? I have installed only one before and I am having issues with the second. Let me tell you my story. I reboot with the M$ XP CD in the DVD-ROM. Windows ((Installation)) sees the drive, let's me create a apartition on the drive.....but will not let me install Windows on it. It tells me that it is not a valid Windows Partition. Huh?? I mean I just created with the Windows CD!! How is not valid?? Oh well. Any help will work!!! THANKS!!!!!!!

It sounds like it isn't your hdd. If you want XP on it, remember that is has to be your primary hdd and not your secondary/slave drive. Maybe that is the problem.

Success!!!!!
Well, I got it. The thing was, Windows was not seeing the SATA drive as the Primary Mast drive for some reason. So after I tried to force the IDE Drive to be the Slave, I just unplugged the power and the install went great. After the install I replugged the IDE drive and used disk management to format and now I have both drive ready for use!! YEAH!!!!!

No, this site isn't coded yet for that option but it's in the works.

Any chance of getting something like that, that would be cool, I would mark my topic as Solved!

oulzac,

Yeah, it's on our list of things to do. There isn't a hack available it'll have to be coded. Right now we want to add revenue sharing first.

I'll close the threads I find that are solved.
