That is because it was designed for Vista not the obsolete XP. There are no hard drive drivers suitable in XP. Re install Vista or install Win7. Hope that helps.
You should have an option on the dc7100 in bios to enable sata in the devices section. Mine always worked fine with sata. If nothing else works remove the security chip, reset the cmos and reboot with the Hard Drive connected and it should connect. If that doesn't work Try flashing the bios just in case it got corrupted.
There are many possibilities that would create this problem. Can you try to install Windows on a seperate machine with the same disk? This would tell you whether the disk has been corrupted or not. If this option is not available, I would suggest cleaning the disk well and trying again. Again, there are many possibilities. Your power supply may be inadequate or beginning to fail, you may have hard drive errors causing the shutdown. The possibilities are numerous and hard to pinpoint without more information. Check to see that your installation CD is not corrupted first.
Hi there. What you want is the intel matrix storage manager for theextra drivers so XP install can see the SATA drive. Download it fromhere and please make sure you read the read me text on how to set it up
first of all enter into the BIOS SETUP and than check there wheather it detect the SATA HDD OR NOT. IF not than there is option in bios to detect the sata hdd please set it properly to detect sata hdd. it might be set to RAID or something else. and this will definitely solve your problem and you will be able to detect the sata HDD.
Matias,
Please remove the jumper on the SATA drive. Boot to the bios & see if the SATA drive is listed. If it is you're good. If this is the first SATA you have tried in the Asus board & my suggestion also failed to show the SATA drive you are left with two options.
One the SATA drive is defective or the SATA motherboard controller is bad. You can call Asus tech M-F 8:00AM to 5:00PM EDT. At 1-812-282-2787, there is little wait time when calling Asus tech. Asus does not charge you for calling them.
