Where do I get my SATA drivers?

[junior30]

I just bought the Asus A8N_SLI board, and I think I lost the SATA drivers disc. I've looked at Asus's website, but I can't findt hem.
Am I looking in the wrong place?

No they should be on the online site or on the disc you lost. Give Asus a call.

No problem, I have the Asus A8V - Deluxe, so I knew right were to look.

Which file is it?

Is it the RAID drivers? 😱

Should be this one:

FileName Sil3114_1100.zip Version V1.1.0.0 Date 2004/12/01
Description Silicon Image Serial ATA Raid V1.1.0.0 plus RAID5 GUI V1.0.0.1 for Windows XP(WHQL)/2K/2003

The other SATA drivers are for WindowsXP - 64 bit edition, or NOVELL network operating system.

Ok thanks.

I then just create a bootable floppy and put them on there correct?

Once you download the zip file. Upzip it. In the folder you unzip it to, you will find a program called makedisk.exe run this program and it will install the drivers on a floppy disk.

When you start the Win/XP installation watch carefully and you will see a prompt at the bottom of a screen that says press F6 if you have additional storage drivers to install. A few minutes later you will be prompted to insert the floppy disk. You will be prompted through the rest of the install.
