I tried to install a single Maxtor SATA drive on my Aopen ak89 max system. I first went through and did the F6 to install the drivers in windows. I then went into XP. It says it is installing new hardware and I installed the drivers. But as it is installing it comes up with an error that access is denied to install the drivers. I then booted into safe mode and was able to install the drivers. I then formatted and setup the drive. I was able to then use the drive in safe mode. When I restarted into XP it hangs on the windows XP splash screen. I can hear the hard drive access for 15 seconds then it stops. When I restart again I have to revert back to last good start.
I have also tried to use the non-raid drivers, which did not come with the board. But when I try to install them it asks for the raid version and will not install the non raid version. The aopen bios does not have a selection to turn off raid, only to turn on the sata chip. The board uses the silicon image 3114 controller.
Is win XP hanging because it is looking for a RAID setup? Why does it work fine as a single drive in safe mode? Is there something I missed during the install of the drivers?
I have tried to load the drivers in XP many times. I have done a system restore to the day before I first installed the drive, to make sure the registry does not have some remnant of a previous install.
My system has 2 hard drives on IDE 0 and 2 DVD drives on IDE 1. I wanted to add more storage using the 4 sata ports this board has. I have tried the install on ports 1 through 3. The silicon image bios screen shows the drive. It also shows setups for raid 0 and 1, but not JBOD. But it does show it as a logical drive.
