HI i recently bought a A8n-SLI Deluxe motherboard and i wanted to install windows xp on a new 320gb WD SATA II. I got some sort of a driver from WD website for windows xp and tried installing that by pressing F6 before starting the windows installation and it still didnt work after several tries and several drivers i used from their site. I also made a partition of this drive with built in setting with my motherboard and nothing still worked but my motherboard detected the drive. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME INSTALL WINDOWS ON THIS THING I WANT TO STOP USING MY OLD IDE DRIVE THANKS A LOT hi my geforce 2 have a weird tv it the screen has grey bars going up and down on it. they wont go away on te tv out but there is no problem with my monitor. i upgraded latest driver. anyone have any p

What are you doing using a WD driver for your SATA-RAID controller? You should download and use Abit's NVRaid driver diskette v 1.05 and load both the Storage Controller and RAID Class drivers during the F6 process. No worries. http://www.abit-usa.com/downloads/downloads.php?file=ftp://ftp-usa.abit.com.tw/pub/download/driver2/sata_driverdisk/nvraid_32v105.zip "If it ain't broke, upgrade anyway."

I believe it's an Asus board and not an Abit board. AMD Athlonxp 3200+ OC Asus A7N8x-deluxe-E ATI AIW 9600pro 2x WD SATA raptors/raid0 160gb Corsair XMS3200 16x Lite-on DVD 12x DVD-R wireless card used as p

A brand new SATA HDD should have included the drivers on a floppy disk...just pop in the floppy & press F6 when required

If you don't have the floppy you can get the driver from this link. http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

No, you have to get the SATA driver from the WDC website, not the ASUS website.

Whoops! I read it as AN8 rather than A8N. Me = idiot. @ jam: does WDC host downloads for the 3114R controller? Why? I'd feel more comfortable downloading from Asus or even Silicon Image. "If it ain't broke, upgrade anyway."
