Hello,
Are there any particular pitfalls with the installing of 2 160 GB SATA disks on Gigabyte 4 SATA MB's ?
In this case the Bios sees the 2 SATA disks, SATA 00 Master and SATA 01 Master.
WinXP Pro SP2 sees the presence of the disk but is unable to format it correctly.
The system properties show that the HDD 00 has the UltraUDMA driver while the HDD 01 has NO Properties assigned at all.
Apart from a factory faulty disk, it was just bought new and sealed, are there any other tips regarding this type of SATA setup ?
I read on 1 Gigabyte manual that unless the disks are set to RAID on some boards it is not possible to have 2 non Raid independent disks.
Does anyone know about this and how one can get around the problem ?
Thanks for any suggestions.
