Vidde Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hi ppl! I got the Windows Vista BETA 1 which probably -a lot- of you also had no problem finding Anyway, at the start of the installation, at the "Where do you want to install Windows?", a list of my harddrives appear.The only problem is, my newly bought Western Digital Caviar 250GB S-ATA disk are "Unavailable"..Check screenshot:Also, I have a "saftly remove hardware devices" icon at my tastbar in WinXP, where I can "disable" my S-ATA disk...? What the..Anyway, system specs:Asus A8N SLI-DeluxeAMD 64bit 3500+6x Harddrives, where 1 of'em is the S-ATA drive. THe others are IDE.Don't think graphcard, ram etc have something to do with it, so..Hoping for an answer to this =)Cheers, folx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabbermacy Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Don't feel bad - I can't get the F-ing thing to install on a gool old regular IDE drive on my SATA system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Try using the 32bit/64bit drivers for your SATA drive (make a disk like you would with any other Windows install), and see if that works.I ended up just throwing an IDE drive in and installing it that way, because I didn't want to spend any more time than I needed to in order to install, but since other 32bit drivers work, I don't think it will be any different here.
