Building a New System SATA HDD Help!

[RusH487]

I'm building a new system (all the final parts just came in the mail today)
I've got an Asus K8V delux Motherboard and I ordered a Maxtor 200GB SATA Hard Drive... I'm trying to install Windows XP on the hard drive (it's connected to the SATA 1 controller), but yet -- it doesn't detect the drive. Bios detects the drive when it boots up, but I can't get Windows or the Setup disk to see it. I temporarily dropped by 40gb IDE drive in there just to see if Windows would still boot up from that, and it did. However, Windows was still not detecting my SATA Drive. Do I have to have 2 seperate SATA drives in order to get this damn thing to work? I really don't feel like dropping another $120 or so on another drive when the single 200gb would be more than sufficient. If there is some way I can get the one drive to work on its own and get Windows installed on it, please tell me how...
Thanks.

When Windows setup loads up, press F6 to install a third party SCSI drivers. Have your sata drivers ready in a floppy when setup asks for it.

Thanks... Would I just get them off the Maxtor site? My HDD came with an assortment of bubble wrap... That's about it.

It should be on the Asus driver CD.

Awesome, thanks a lot!

Yes, anytime.

Sorry, I must be retarded or something... I put in the K8V CD that came w/ the motherboard and from there, there seems to be no way that I can get a floppy made... I can install RAID controllers directly from the CD, but when I go to set up XP in DOS, it says I need a floppy... How would I go about getting those drivers off the CD and onto the floppy?

Copy the files off the CD and paste them onto the floppy.

Actually, download the latest drivers and then copy all to a bootable diskette because almost always the CD/floppies that came in retail packages are a couple of months outdated.
