So I got a 80gb Raptor today WD800ADFS

and my computer doesn't recognize it nor does it function.

I am running ECS Nforce3-A (Nforce3 250 Chipset)
Amd x64 3000+
1Gb Ram pc3200
Windows XP

when I loaded the RAPTOR, my computer just wouldn't read it or recognize it

Only after I installed another drive could I get it into the WINDOWS Setup to install but even after that, it was still not working

The bios says that it is enabled and all of that but for some reason it isn't loading.

Regular caviar se sata hd is being recognized but not the RAPTOR!

I found a couple websites talking about it, but most resolved issues by copying from one drive to another...but I do not have the software they use


Thanks guys


So for those who read, here is a joke that I find hilarious

A guy is waiting at a terminal waiting for his plane and sees a bombshell blonde sitting across the way with an open seat next to blondie and sits next to her. So he starts talking to her and asks if she wants to play a game to pass the time.

She politely declines and continues reading her book and still not discouraged, asking if she would play "Who knows what", a game of trivia.

"Come on, lets play 'Who knows what'!"
"Uhhh, no thanks"
"Come onnnn..."
"Uh excuse me"

And as she packs her luggage to move to another chair, he blurts out

"I'll make it worth your while. For every question I don't know, I'll pay you 50$ and for everyone you don't know, you give me 5$. How about that?"

Intrigued she sits down.

The man begins, "How far is the Earth to the moon?"

The woman not knowing, opens her purse and hands him a 5$ bill.

"Okay my turn! What has three legs walking up the hill and 4 legs coming down?"

The man sure he knows the answer to the riddle goes at it
1 min, 2, 5, 10 minutes pass and as hard as he tries to figure out the clever rriddle, he is stuck and opens his wallet and takes out a 50$ bill and hands it to her

The blonde decides she's had enough and gets up to leave when the man asks intently,
"Hey what was the answer to your riddle?"

And as she is standing up, she opens up her purse and hands him 5$ bill"

OK, with the Raptor drives you need a certain SATA driver for those. If I was at my desktop at home I'd give you the name of the driver, but I always have to load it via floppy(F6) when I try to install windows on it.

Pissed me off when Vista did the same thing. It's OK, next HD I'm buying is not a raptor, so I should be good.

Okay, so I finally got it loaded with windows XP but now it doesn't read the disk

The way I got Bios to detect was I had to put a jumper in to make it the slower 150gbps and then it finally detected but now after installation, I get another error message although BIOS detects it.

It says "Invalid System Disk Please remove and press any button to continue."

Why is this happening?

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY

WHAT ARE THESE SATA DRIVERS EVERYONE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT?

I've responded your PM. I also went ahead and sent you some drivers via email.

Let me know if these are the right ones. If not I'll dig some more.
