Hi

setup don't detect my HDD MAXTOR SATA STM3160211AS 160 GO

with motherboard http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=775i65G



I found this when I extract Inf drivers with winrar...

************************************************************
* 8B.  INSTALLING THE WINDOWS* XP INF FILES PRIOR TO
*      OS INSTALLATION
************************************************************
NOTE: The Windows* XP OEM Preload Kit distribution CD contains
      a setup directory with all the base operating system
      setup files and installation programs (WINNT.EXE and
      WINNT32.EXE). 

The name of the directory may vary depending on the
distribution CD (e.g., \I386\).

1.  Create the following directory structure under the
    <WINXP Setup Directory>:

       \$OEM$\$$\INF

2.  Copy the Windows* XP INF files from
    <INF Extract Directory>\XXXX\WinXP to the directory
    created in Step 1 above:

       <WINXP Setup Directory>\$OEM$\$$\INF

    NOTE: XXXX is the directory name for the chipset of
          interest.  Refer to Section 8 for more details.

3.  Create the following directory structure under the
    <WINXP Setup Directory>:

       \$OEM$\$1\drivers\IntelINF

4.  Copy the Windows* XP INF files AND the catalog files
    (.CAT) from <INF Extract Directory>\XXXX\WinXP to the
    directory created in Step 4 above:

       <WINXP Setup Directory>\$OEM$\$1\drivers\IntelINF

    NOTE: XXXX is the directory name for the chipset of
          interest. Refer to Section 8 for more details.

5.  Either modify the default Windows* XP installation
    answer file, UNATTEND.TXT, located in <WINXP Setup
    Directory>, or create a customized answer file.  The
    answer file must include the following information:
   
       [Unattended]
       OemPreinstall = Yes
       OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\IntelINF"

    A sample answer file for preloading the Intel(R) Chipset
    Software Installation utility files is available:
    <INF Extract Directory>\XXXX\WinXP\INFAnswr.TXT
   
    If you are a computer manufacturer, refer to the Microsoft*
    Windows* XP Guide to Unattended Setup for more information
    about Windows* XP answer files and unattended installations.
    For more information about the \$OEM$ folder, refer to the
    Microsoft Windows* XP OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK)
    User Guide. If you are not a manufacturer, refer to the Microsoft
    Windows* XP Deployment Guide.

6.  Run "WINNT.EXE /u:<answer file name> /s:<WINXP Setup
    Directory>" to install Windows* XP.


Driverspack must detect it or not ??

It's an intel controller that's all we know so far. Can you provide the HWID ? You can use the tool in my sig.

Re: MAXTOR SATA STM3160211AS not detected

this is an ICH5 chipset and will emulate an IDE controller if the proper settings are selected in BIOS.
no special steps are required driver wise to get up and running
