Guest zy Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I added a new samsung spint point F1 1T hard disk (SATA) to my PC (dell dimension 5100, which had a 250G HDD as SATA master already) . The bios can see the new hard disk correctly. Also the boot disk Samsung provided can see it, format it. But when I log in XP (SP3), the new driver can not be see anywhere, either in Disk Management or device manager. Any suggestion ?

Is there any special driver for SATA? Shouldn't the driver come with XP for the controller enough?
