I have a core 2 duo e4300, abit IB9, Gforce 7300GT, 1GB DDR2 Geil at 800 mhz and a 250 wd caviar se sata2, now besides having huge issues with making the board "understand" my cpu for it`s real performance i have another big issue, when i try to install windows i get a blue crash screen, it seems that at the installation it does not recognize my hard drive,i`ve tried all sorts of drivers using F6 option on installation and the only ones that work are those for ata drives, and windows reads my hdd as an ATA one instead of SATA, when bios loads it only seaches for ide drives not SATA/RAID and i can`t find any options for SATA/RAID in bios config.Please help.

SATA drives are auto detected by the BIOS so there won't be any settings.

When Windows install starts you need to hit a key fairly quickly to install SATA drivers, then insert a SATA driver disk when prompted.

To make a SATA driver disk boot from you motherboard disk and follow the instructions.

Alternatively have a look on the manufacturers website to find the SATA driver download.

The only explanation can be that you are either doing it wrong or the SATA drive is faulty.

It`s not faulty,i have windows installed on it,but the only way i could install it was by using a ide ata driver from the motherboard cd so now windows recognizes it as an ata disk instead if sata.

Try emailing the manufacturer as it may be a known fault with the motherboard.

I read about the same problem and the reply was to install driver ITE8211F loaded onto floppy from the Abit CD. Flashing the BIOS to version 12 was also advised.

You are booting from the motherboard driver CD to make this SATA disk yes?
