Is this a sign of a problem? Wrong driver? Incorrect detection?

hey guys,

Geeze, I hope this isn't a problem I spend about 12 hours or so getting everything installed and all how I like it. Plus this would be my first real problem (knock on wood). Problem is that my Hitachi 250gb SATA drive is listed as -drive name- "SCSI Disk Device" in the Windows device manager. This probably seems like it could be ok but I wanted to ask to make sure this wasn't causing any problems or performance issues. This is with an ABIT AV8 Via K8T, Via drivers and everything installed all new, everthing updated all bios and everything

Everything is working great and super fast, boots fine. Should it say SATA or is this ok?
Please let me know if it is normal and if it isn't please let me know if I should leave it or change it and what steps to take?

Thanks,
Rhin0
 
That happens a lot with SATA as in that is OK or I need to fix it? It looks ok to me.



BTW- I just got a 51 mb/s score with this drive on Sandra '05, so it must be working half way ok
 
SATA is considered "SCSI" by system as in "other than IDE"
Newer mobo you have SATA settings in bios - older its just SCSI
thats why when you hit F5 to install RAID or SCSI in XP setup, it doesnt offer SATA as an option - maybe in Longhorn

Thx Bozo, that is pretty much more or less what I thought, especially since XP came out before mainstream SATA...

Oh well its working great. Just downloaded HL2.... Wow so awesome. But I did get some chop in the audio when G-man was talking to me. Pissed me off but then I forgot I left 16x umm AA/AF? is it? That was 2x the recommended amount. I just put it all on recommended looks unbelievable...
