On an IDE-booted XP Pro system, I never have needed a SATA drive until now. For purposes of storage, only, I plan to add a Seagate SATA 1.x drive. For the drive to be recognized by the system, I must install the SATA driver, as well.
Problem 1--
The XP system's Asrock K7VT6 mainboard (8237 VIA chipset) provides a drivers CD which seems to list only RAID drivers, and I have no need for a RAID setup. I can find no SATA driver for a single HD listed on the CD.
Problem 2--
I understand the SATA driver is frequently installed during OS installation, but would rather not reinstall XP Pro over itself, merely to add a SATA driver.
How can I add a SATA 1.x driver for this mainboard and OS?
