I bought an SATA harddisk , but i don't know how to install in on my A7N8X Deluxe.
I set the jumpers on SATA Channel enabled, and whe i start up the computer one sentance appears:
If you want to start up the RAID utility pres F4
Channel Master : ST380013AS
Channel Slave : None

Than, after a while a singn apears DISK BOOT FAILURE...

I i go to this RAID utility can't do create any RAID because i have only one hardisk.

So any ideas of how to install my hadrisk, but not on raid?

Youll need the Silicon Image Sata chipset drivers on a floppy to install when windows says "Press F6 to install SCSI drivers..."

then it will recognize and install onto the Sata drive

Are you getting this error while you are trying to install Windows? If so, follow dbwillis's suggestion from above.

Go to the asus website and go to the support page. Check for drivers for your mobo. It should have come with a CD with drivers on it. I would be kinda surprised if they were not on that CD. If they are not, just download them.

If you are getting that message before then, it's probably a different problem.
