I have an Intel D845PEBT2 motherboard with an IDE hard drive and Win 2000.
I added a new Seagate SATA.
Used Disk Manager in Administrative Tools to format.
It is now H drive (NTFS).
OK now I try and load XP to it and during the install, on the blue screen, it shows my existing "C" drive but the H drive is G and it will not let me install on it. It shows it there as far as size goes.
CORRECTION: The new drive does not show under install screen. I royaly messed up and partitioned a USB storage drive my wife was using for school. I will be in the dog house soon.
In BIOS the only SATA settings are RAID and boot. I have tried these setting both enabled and disabled to no avail.
In fact I didn't notice the drive in BIOS at all under "boot sequence" option.
I can move files on and off this drive while operating in Win2000 but I can't install XP on it.
Any ideas?
