SATA HDD w/ WinXP

by Farmboy Mar 23, 2004 12:28PM PST

I have a new system. AMD64, ASUS SK8V Motherboard, and 2 Western Digital 37GB Hard Drives. I put them in a RAID 0 SATA config. Everything is properly recoginised by the system. I load Windows XP, hit F6 and load the VIA RAID drivers as per the Mother Board instructions. XP accepts them and keeps going. Just after loading FAT and NTFS stuff (as it shows the progress across the bottom of the screen) I get the Blue Screen of death. I get a "Stop 0x00000067" message.

I ran FDISK made a partition and formated it with FAT32 and still get the problem.

Anyone have anyideas what they problem is? I'd really appreciate the help, Thanks

This area is full of potholes. In short, you need the board supplier to supply you with a procedure to load XP.

Updated BIOS is not unusally as well as some "LEGACY IDE" setting in the BIOS so the SATA "looks" like IDE so you don't have to load the RAID drivers...

If it won't load XP, then it's time to call the supplier and ask what to RMA.

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to this yet either, but I have exactly the same problem with an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe MoBo, AMD3200+, and 2 80Gb SATA drives. I've tried Raid-0 and Raid-1. No difference. I downloaded the latest RAID drivers from ASusTek. No difference. An email to ASuS brought no reply. I downgraded the RAM from a matched set of Corsair Extreme Dual Channel to a standard stick of PC3200 and the only difference is that I got the BSOD later in the process. I also tried disabling RAID and just using the SATA drives as individual drives, and there was still no difference. And, I tried XP OEM and XP OEM-SP1 installs. At this point, I gave up and have been searching different forum discussion boards. Only one thing is becoming clear: I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.

SATA HDD w/ WinXP. "The" Google.

If you read just the first page o'links, you see a trend of clues about how to install. You also see that some had a defective hard disk, out of date BIOS and "other" issues.

The stuff works, but XP as supplied won't glide onto the hardware.

I got ahold of the MB and RAM manufacturers. I adjusted some settings for my RAM and it is working now. Those forums on Google were great I learned a lot reading them

Thanks

Is all the computer hardware brand new? if it is new it should not behave like that. I think u should try deleting all partition and let windows XP format the partition rather than using FDISK command.
If that still don't work please contact me at auyongcheemeng17@hotmail.com
