Hi All,
Have just put together a new machine and having problems installing the OS (Vista Premium x64)
Specs are
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P
Q6600
4GB DDR Ram
2 x 500GB Maxtor SATAII HDD
1 x DVD/RW (IDE)
8800GTX
---
Problem occurs on the screen during installation which asks me to select HDD to install on. Both show up, correct sizes, but it says can't install on them (no compatible hardware or something)
Says to check controller (or something along those lines) in BIOS.
I've looked in BIOS and can't see anything obvious... is this a common problem? Does anyone know a way around it.
I don't have RAID or anything like that setup, just 2 SATAII drives connected normally without any special setup. I inserted Mobo disc with SATA drivers on it to see if that needed doing (or could be done) but windows didn't find anything that needed installing.
Thanks in advance for any help
