Hey guys, I just built my first complete computer and everything is going well except for my harddrives. When I ran winXP setup for the first time the only drive it detected was my 120 gig drive connected to IDE1. I installed windows there thinking that I might need to do some more setup before I could get my 74 gig raptor to work with its SATA connection. I found the floppy with the Promise SATA drivers and installed those. After that, the raptor appeared in the device manager, so I figured I could now re-run windows install on the raptor (seems like it would be pertinent to put the OS on the faster hard drive....). Problem is, setup still will not detect the raptor drive. I am using the socket 939 soltek board, and I use both the floppy disks provided for the sata and raid drivers while installing windows. I don't know how to get my raptor drive formatted and running with windows on it. Anyone know what I need to do?
