Solve : Problems with new SATA HDD?

Answer» OKAY, so here's an update.

The Windows 7 disk has got passed the splash screen and it now asks what drive I want to install it on. At first all that showed up was my external HDD. Then, I loaded the "5029" file using a flash drive and chose the xp folder to install the driver. It was the closest thing to W7 I thought.

It then recognized the drive as "Unallocated Space" It recognzed the 475GB free space. With that I hit Next and I got an error and the process RESTARTED. Now what? Unplug the external hard drive. Unplug all unnecessary peripherals. Just have the keyboard and mouse plugged into the computer. Remove the IDE drive from the motherboard. Just have the DVD drive and the new hard drive plugged in. Go into BIOS and load fail safe defaults. Try INSTALLING again. I think the problem is that there are no drivers for the SATA/RAID that work with W7?Quote from: EmoReaper on December 08, 2010, 07:14:59 PM

Manual says ULi M1689, not ALi. Try uli_sata_v103.zip file.
This looks like it contains a Vista driver for the M1689. You can register on Driverguide for free.

I was ABLE to use another motherboard that I had to install it on that drive. Actually I think I'm gonna stick with this other motherboard too.

Thanks for all your help and time. It was much appreciated. Cheers mate Why were you putting the driver on the XP drive?
