I had that problem when I was trying to install Windows on to my RAID setup. My solution was to give Windows setup the driver for the raid card (press F6 at the begining of the WinXP setup when it says so to install the driver. Click the "Load Driver" button in the Vista setup to install the driver)

( ty micke. idk what i have to do. bios is up2date. but ill read more in this forum.maybe ill find anything.

ty Yami. the problem is, which driver?
i tried this with mainboard CD. but happend nothin. there are many drivers. & i tested all... ))) for xin xp 32 or xp64 or or or ... i singed in with the old HDD & install on ma windows all drivers but i cant detect the sata hdd there so i´m now formatin the partition in DOS. tried again with fdisk. i hope this will work.

ps . tried to dl anything from samsunghdd.com "driver" but happend nothin.

Which ever driver is for the OS you are trying to install. For me, I had to use the Vista64 driver.

Try installing a Unix based OS to it. See if that detects the drive.
