Okay, I just built my entire computer from a previous thread and am having the most annoying problem ever. I cannot get Windows to be able to access my SATA disk when installing Windows XP. It says "setup cannot access disk" but is able to locate the disk and give its capacity in both setup and the bios. It's connected to the SATA1 slot, and I've temporarily disabled my 2 other IDE HDD's for simplicity's sake. I have Sata1 enabled, Sata1 dma transfer enabled, and is listed as third IDE master in bios.
I have tried formatting the Raptor using recovery console -- formatting hangs at 0 percent. I have also setup a one disk raid array with the Raptor which allowed setup to use the Raptor, but when I tried to format the partition for NTFS, it also did not move from 0% in the formatting.
I have tried various combinations of F6'ing the nvidia drivers (which shouldn't be necessary) with the same result of 'setup is not able to access the disk'. It also takes a about a minute to get to the policy agree step for windows install, when it says 'starting windows'...it never usually takes that long, but eventually it comes around.
I have no idea what else to try to bring the hard drive around. Any suggestions?
