Hi people,

I'm almost burning my brain whit this issue: In device manager my Seagate
80GB SATA appears as Intel Ultra ATA Storage Controllers ( as ide ..) . I
was told that it's correct since SATA is enabled in bios but I don't think
so since I guess it should be detected as SCSI. Am I wrong ? If it's not set
as sata what can I do do install it as SATA without formating again ( I
can't stand doing this anymore ! ) ?? Please, sorry if this is a silly
question but I'm don't think I've got brain anymore

Thanking in advance,
Sergio

did you try
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d865perl/index.htm
and http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-009271.htm?

oh, and maybe a new installation might help 😉

Does the disk work? I mean, can you install XP on it, or even opartition
and format it with the tools from Seagate (called Seatools)? If so, it must
be connected properly, and do not worry about what the PC calls it.

I have two 120 Gig Seagate SATA disks, and on my computer they show as
Promise RAID/SCSI disks, since that is the name/type of controller on my
motherboard. But, your motherboard could be different. Does your mobo
manual shed any light? How about the FAQs or user support on the Intel
website?

Note that it is not physically possible to plug a SATA disk into an IDE
controller, since the cables are very different. So, do not worry about
that.

Thanks guys for your help!
Bob, Yes it works but see what Intel says (sorry for the long post):

I don't have the Intel 82801ER but 82801EB controller.

************************************************************
* 2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
************************************************************

1. The system must contain the following Intel products:

* Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Processor
* Intel(R) 82801ER I/O Controller Hub

************************************************************
* 7. IDENTIFYING THE SOFTWARE VERSION NUMBER
************************************************************

Use the following steps to identify the software version
number following a Have Disk, F6, or unattended installation

* Run 'Start' then 'Control Panel'
* Double-click 'System' Control Panel Application
* Select the 'Hardware' tab
* Select 'Device Manager' button
* Expand the 'SCSI and RAID Controllers' entry
* Right-click on the 'Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller'
....

Well men, I'm completely lost ! I hope you guys can help me. I guess the guy
that installed windows did not use the F6 option to install the drives for
sata/raid. I asked him and he said that he's right what I don't think so!

I beleive that if the SATA is on the motherboard and is using a Intel
storage controller chip, then this is correctly. This is why you would not
need to add a special driver (F6) during XP installs.

SATA can be a tricky proposition since XP has no imbedded SATA drivers, to
my knowledge. On my mobo (Gigabyte GA-8KNXP non-Ultra rev. 1) there are two
SATA controllers, the "on-chip" ICH5R (part of the Intel 875 chipset) and
"on-board" Sil3112. Using the former, SATA can be configured to be mapped
through IDE, bypassing any SATA controllers and special driver installs, and
this is configured in the bios. The downside to this is that one IDE
channel is used.

However, on this mobo if I want to run RAID I must use one of the two SATA
controllers, and that is where the special drivers come into play. I
started out using one PATA HD on IDE1 as the boot drive, and when I moved to
a SATA Raptor I enabled the ICH5R SATA function in the bios, set to manual
(thus not automatically mapped thru IDE) as SATA0. As I mentioned, doing
this does not tie up an IDE channel for the SATA drive. I also enabled RAID
in case I later wanted to create an array, which I did.

Before attaching the drive and after enabling the SATA controller, which may
be already enabled on most systems by default, when booting into WinXP Pro I
was prompted for a driver for the new hardware, and I had the drivers ready
on a floppy. The controller was thus installed by the OS and I powered down
and attached the SATA drive. I then rebooted and ran Norton Ghost via
floppy, which cloned the old PATA to SATA, and after rebooting I was up and
running.

Moving to RAID later was a matter of adding the second drive, setting up the
array, and cloning again. Since one of the drives in the array contained
the OS and the array creation wipes out everything, I cloned to another
drive first before setting up the array, then used that clone to restore to
the new array.
