raptor driver?

sbohdan · February 19th, 2007

hey everyone. I have a problem installing the 74GB raptor on my friends computer. actually it's been recognized in the BIOS and when connected just as a drive it's OK too but as soon as I want to install windows on it, it says (in the beginning of windows setup), that there is no hard drive connected to the computer. now I remember having to punch F6 with other SATA drives at the initial launch of the windows CD and then it would ask for the additional drivers on a floppy disc, which was allways on the floppy, provided with the MOBO. now this time there is no floppy (he claims there wasn't any in the MOBO's box). I tried to find the drivers on ASUS's page but the page is screwed up (can't scroll down in eighter IE or firefox), so I couldn't get the drivers. I told him that the store which put together his computer probably didn't include the floppy. am I right in this or is there any other trick with raptors I'm missing maybe?
thanks for any help in advance

BTW the MOBO is asus p5ld2

probably so. Head over the place where te computer was built and ask for a floppy for the drivers. Or make your own -

^ F6 drivers from ASUS. I'm not having any issues with the site what-so-ever.

Here's a link to that boards downloads page. SATA drivers are almost to the bottom.

Linking to the Asus site doesn't work properly. It takes you to a general search screen.

I'm not having any issues downloading from their site. I say try it again....but make damn sure you've got the right mobo info before you download anything to use.

RAID drivers actually, there is no such thing as SATA drivers. You want the RAID drivers on the floppy so that it will pick up the SATA drive on the raid controller. Just pop it on a disk and hit F6!
