Win repair under a SATA drive

#1 (**permalink**) 07-02-2007, 05:46 AM

MoBo is an ASUS A8V running 1 x SATA C: Drive, OS is XP Home SP2

I had cause to run a windows repair and changed the boot sequence to CD then
HDD.

the repair operation checked out the hardware but reported back it could not
see a drive.

I aint used to these SATA systems so how do I get it to see the drive.

thanks
DJ

Place the SATA driver on a floppy. Press F6 when prompted during setup
or repair.
