Asus A7n8x-e Raid Driver For Mac
The Asus 1.16 drivers come with the motherboard. However, they are grossly out of date - if you play games you will find that there are many fixes for the sound (usually EAX).
First things first, I'll assume we are talking about XP. The first thing to check is the SATA mode. I don't know that particular board, but I'm guessing from the model it's an nvidia. So in the bios you should have 2 different options for SATA mode. One is the mode itself, options should be something like Native, IDE, AHCI. You want IDE. The second option sets whether the SI controller runs them as stand alone or RAID, that option could be called a few different things, but RAID Mode is a common name.
With one drive, you don't want it set for RAID. You might also check that you are installing the right drivers. The SI3112 actually shows up as one piece of hardware when set for RAID, and a different when set for IDE/Non-Raid. Make sure you are installing the non-raid driver.
(I think they are both included in the txtmode setup though) 3112.sys I think is the file name to check for, with 3112r.sys being the raid mode version. 15,209 bytes Installation Guide (Unzipped) Enable/Disable SATA SATA Port location 4,469,928 bytes Main BIOS page Advanced Features BIOS page If running one drive only, don't run the SATALink RAID manager after installation. It is supplied/installed with the motherboard utility drivers along with the 3112r.sys driver. Set your Primary and Secondary HDD to (None) in the BIOS, instead of (AUTO). Under 'Advanced BIOS Features' in the BIOS, set the first boot device to HD0, The 'SATA & SCSI boot order' to SATA/SCSI, and 'Boot Other Device' to (Enable). If you're using the Primary IDE channel for optical drives, or other IDE devices, you can set the Primary/Secondary Master/Slave devices to (Auto) in the BIOS.
Bear in mind there may be a delay at start-up while the OS finds 'HDD 0'. P.S.- As pog points out, I completely missed the fact you only have one drive, and it is a fresh install of Windows. You will need the motherboard driver CD available for download from ASUS tech support, or the floppy diskette images for the SATA driver and utility. Unless you have the SATA driver floppy disk, you will have to make one, which implies you will need another system to make it on. If you can download the files for the drivers disk, and get them onto a formatted floppy, you'll be all set. So, I am going to upload the ASUS SATA drivers zip file which includes Disk #1, and Disk #2, of the set. I believe you will only need Disk#1.
Look in the subfolder GUI/Diskettes of the zip file. You will also need to modify the previous instructions i gave you: In the BIOS, set the SATA & SCSI Boot Order to 'SATA/SCSI', the first boot device to 'CDROM', enable 'Boot Other Device'. Best if you don't use the primary IDE channel until you are done installing the SATA HDD on the SATA port #1, have installed Windows, including the SATA drivers from the floppies, and have a bootable HDD.
Then, you can move your optical drives to the Primary IDE, or separate them, one on each IDE channel (faster data transfers between them). SATA came out after XP was released. During Windows setup, you have an opportunity to hit F6 which will allow you to add textmode storage drivers that Windows doesn't know about. For this, you'll need the drivers on a floppy (a limitation imposed by MS).
Alternatively, you can (as mentioned) configure your BIOS for a compatibility mode so your HD can be accessed as if it were IDE. I don't know that you will lose any noticeable performance but this is my least favorite method. It may not be that easy to add drivers later and use the HD with normal SATA settings. If you don't have a floppy, you might just add a temporary IDE HD on the same ribbon as your optical drive. If you have IDE optical, that is.
Then, install Windows to the temp drive. When you fire up Windows, you will be able to add drivers so that Windows can access the (bare) SATA drive. Then use a HD cloning tool to copy Windows from the temp drive over to the SATA.
Disconnect the temp drive and boot into Windows! My preferred method is to just add the drivers into my XP install disks. I tend to use tools from driverpacks.net and nliteos.com.but this is probably more hassle than it's worth if you are just doing this once!
