I had a lot of problems with Win 2003 recognizing drives. I eventually gave up on a clean install. I did a clean install of Windows 2000 Enterprise Server and then did an upgrade to Win 2003, which worked fine. I'm curious if you find the correct solution. -----Original Message----- From: sebastian.miller@xxxxxx [mailto:sebastian.miller@xxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 9:01 AM To: windows-2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows-2000] S-ATA hi together, does anyone have experiences with S-ATA? I want to run one of my two HDDs on the SATA-Controller of my mainboard in order to address all drives as Master (OS is Win2003-Server). But I wether can see the drive somewhere in the BIOS nor when installing Windows. Now I have installed Win2003 and can go to the managementdialogue for my drives and there I see that my Windows at least has recognized that there's more than just one HDD. It says "device 1", but declares it as inaccessable or what ever. So, I can't see or access the second drive on my SATA-Controller on the mainboard (ASUS xy :-) - what and where do I have to configure my system in order to get the second HDD working properly (ok, I could use the DVD as Slave and the two HDDs as Masters on the IDE, but isn't this constallation also possible? That's the way it was delivered by the manufactor - except that the first HDD was connected to the RAID-Controller - now the RAID -should- be disabled and the first HDD is connected to Primary Master IDE) thankx in advance Sebastian ______________________________________________________________________________ Wo gibt es den besten Spam-Schutz?
