Reply With Quoteinstall the MOBO drivers, it will cure the problems garuanteed. unless the drive is faulty......... (which i doubt it is)
Yesterday I installed a Maxtor 160gb SATA drive, no other drives in the system. Installed XP on it no problem (didnt install any third party scsi/raid controllers). However, now Windows is installed, the drive is intermittently not recognised in the bios and wont boot.
Any ideas? My next step is to repair the windows installation and press F6 to install the raid drivers that came with my motherboard. I just find it a bit odd that it occasionally recognises the drive and boots fine...?

It could be a cable problem, check it.
Yeah, I'll give it a go tonight. I'd be surprised if the drive was faulty, regardless of the bad things you hear about Maxtor drives...Originally Posted by superstavros
Well, tried the repair, and after I'd installed the sata driver during the initial part of the windows setup it still failed to recognise a drive to install windows on. Managed to get it to install eventually.
I'm thinking ****ed drive...
