I cannot have my asus board p4p800 accept one sata disk (where XP resides) plus one pata disk. All bios possibilities I have tried (enhanced mode, sata/sata+pata/pata) and master/slave positions on the pata. Is it at all possible with this board to have the system on a sata and the data on a pata disk?to

    I have a P4P800 motherboard in the pc and a SATA disk with Windows XP on it. A DVD drive (which is PATA) is connected with a PATA connector on the board.The system as such works fine. I want to add a second disk for data storage and that is a PATA. When I connect it the system does not startup in windows any more: it looks only on this data disk for the OS which is not there of course. I trid all possibilities: connect the data disk as slave on the cable which conneccts to the DVD (which itself is master): no way. I tried the second PATA connector on the board: no way. I tried other settings in the bios: SATA + PATA, PATA, etc. When I set it to PATA then the data disk is seen by the system and it starts windows normally, but... the DVD drive cannot read disks any more! I'm desparate!

You should put the OS on an IDE drive. Then you can have the DVD player on an IDE controller. The SATA drives can be used for a RAID or a JBOD.

SOURCE: Dear Sir I want to upgrade my hard disk to SATA 320 GB or SATA 250 GB. But my Motherboard is Intel Corporation D845GVSR and Bios Version is VA84510A.86A.0030.0402160229 System Bus Speed is 533 MHz Sys

No, don't use a convertor. Please buy a SATA PCI addon card.
like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=pci+sata&x=0&y=0

the above card will do alot better job than a converter, if you don't have sata and you don't have room for the card then its best that you buy IDE drive which 250GB or more.

thanks and good luck.

SOURCE: xp could not find sata hard disk

the driver is not included in the driver cab on the xp and server 2003 disks, you will need to download the drivers and put them on a floppy disk (usb floppy if you do not have an internal drive) then as the blue setup screen is loading press F6 to load the drivers.

SOURCE: Sir my problem is that

Each PATA device (disk-drive or CD/DVD) drive has some small jumpers.

For the two devices connected via the one ribbon-cable,
set the jumpers on one device to the MA(ster) setting,
and set the other device to the SL(ave) setting.

Or, set both devices on the one cable to the C(able)S(elect) setting.

When properly set, both devices will be quickly and properly detected.

Be sure that your BIOS SETUP has been configured to allow SATA devices,
i.e., not set to "disabled" mode.

Asus laptop will not boot up after install of new hard drive
If your ASUS laptop uses a SATA hard drive -

SATA HARD DRIVE - XP INSTALLATION
The problem is that XP installation CD does not have a SATA driver, unless you have a SATA drive on a disk etc. and can install the driver when XP asks for a hard drive driver then, XP cannot detect the hard disk and therefore won't install XP. The FIX. Go into the BIOS and disable the SATA drive (enable IDE emulation), this will make XP think it is a IDE/PATA hard disk. Then you can install XP normally. When Windows has been installed then install all the device drivers (including the SATA driver), then shut down and boot up and got into the BIOS and enable the SATA drive.

P4P800 SE not bootable on sata
Hello download the manual here:

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_478/P4P800_SE/#download

Please select your windows system

Open the manual folder and click on global for download

Unzip the file and you need adobe reader to read the content

Take a look in the BIOS and under advanced you should be able to see the motherboard settings for the drives. Make sure that the board is set to use ENHANCED settings and not LEGACY, then go to the BOOT section and make sure the SATA drive is the first drive.

Good luck

Boot on sata
I found the user manual here :

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock478/p4p800-se/e1886_p4p800_se.pdf

Your problem could be in the bios. Press the delete key repeatedly while booting up to enter the Bios Setup Utility and check these options :
IDE Configuration - as shown in the manual at chapter 4 page 14

Onboard PCI IDE Operate Mode - Enhanced Mode
Enhanced Mode Support On - S-ATA
Configure S-ATA as RAID - no

and also

Boot device priority - as shown in the manual at chapter 4 page 33

set your Sata drive as the 1st boot device

For additional info, refer to the manual in the link above.

Did this solve your problem?

Hello, My my motherborad is ASUS p5rd1-vm;RAM1GB and hard disk is PATA 80 GB but the HDD is having some kind of problem and the windows have shown a warning about it several times. Now i want to buy a...
Yes, it's compatible with the motherboard, no, it's not compatible with the XP install disk because it doesn't have SATA support. And since Asus doesn't provides it special driver needed (one that must be put on a floppy) it means that you simply cannot install XP on this disk.
All you can do is to obtain another PATA hdd what ever its size and install XP in it. Then put the new SATA disk in and use it to store all the installed programs and all your files on it. As a bonus you won't lose them if the new PATA disk fails or XP gets corrupted.
Or install Vista or 7 instead of XP, the have support for SATA disks

XP needs an PATA disk to install, it won't do it on a SATA disk. So just add a small IDE disk besides the present SATA one and install XP on it (and only it). Then load all your files and installed programs and files to the SATA one.
This board is a custom one, made for Fujitsu - there is no new BIOS for it anywhere.
