I made a boot disk from the WD CD, but that was not what I needed. I needed the SATA
drivers from the mobo CD. The CD had some different directories, so I (eventually)
copied everything in the directory \Drivers\SATA\via\DriverDisk. When I ran W200
setup, the question about other SCSI drivers comes right at the beginning, and is
on the status bar at the bottom of the screen. I press F6, but it didn't access the
disk at that time. Later in the setup, it asked if I wanted to use external drivers
for SCSI control. I respond yes by pressing "S,", and then select "Via SATA RAID
Controller (Windows 2000)" from the choices. So it's installing right now. This should
take care of it. Thanks. I didn't want to mess with transferring a good PATA drive
just to set up Windows (twice), and then transferring it back to my other PC and
reimaging. yuck. I did have some problem with the boot manager. I used Ranish partition
manager to hide all partitions except the one I want to install on, and I’m rerunning
the installation. I’ll let you know how it goes. Oh, yeah, I used Head to save the
first 63 sectors first, so I can restore my boot manager.
