Hi Friends,
[Posting a new thread with clear sub, I request the MOD to close the thread with sub "Intel DG965WH Vs DG965RY ?"]
Was not in town for last few day. Atlast y'day I brought my PC with following Configuration:
Intel 965RY
C2D 1.86GHz E6300
Transcend 1G 533 MHz (Planning to xchange it with 667)
Seagate 200 GB SATA 7200
Initially had problems with RAM Compatibility, but then Transcend worked.
Now the problem am facing is, my BIOS shown all the configurations properly but when i boot my PC with bootable winxp sp2, after loading the setup file the setup says "There are no fixed disks available to the system". I tried booting with a floppy and FDISK also says "No Fixed disks available" ( Not sure if we can use FDISK to partition SATA hdds) . I tested connecting the SATA cable to all the SATA ports and with different SATA cables but everying in vain.
But when I connected my old Samsung IDE HDD 80 GB to the IDE connector (thank god I have an option of 1 IDE connector in 965RY) i was able to smoothly run the setup.
Friends, please tell me what could be the problem??? I dont want to continue with my IDE but want to use SATA technology and get maximum performance out of my above configuration.
Thanks & Regards
Dev
