I recently tried to do a clean install of Win XP Pro on my system. When it came to the screen where you pick which drive to install it on is said " No disk found" or something like that. Thing is I have a WD 200 GB SATA hard drive which requires hitting F6 and the driver. Well I had a streamlined SP2 disk with the driver and it still came up " No disk found". I tried using my original SP1 disk with floppy containg RAID driver and still no dice. Funny thing is when I let it normally boot it will go into the previous installation of Win XP. Can anyone help me figure out how to get the installation to recognize my hard drive? And why it would do this? Here is my current hardware config:
Motherboard : ASUS A7V8X w/SATA/RAID, 1394, 10/100 ethernet, onboard audio (not used)
Processor : AMD XP 2800+ Barton
Memory : Kingston PC2700 512 MB DDR (x2), 1 GB total
Video : PNY NVIDIA GeForceFX 5200 Ultra 128 MB
Audio : Audigy 2 Platinum w/ front panel
Other drives : Plextor PX-708A, 100 MB ZIP, 3.5 Floppy
Thanks in advance.

It appears like the SATA driver is not installing. You need to ensure that the driver files are in the root of the floppy. Not the Windows SATA utility files.

I'm not very familiar with sata or raid on a workstation but does the drive show up in bios? The reason I ask is because I've seen right before a drive or controller dies it severely corrupts the drive to where a reload is in order.

if there is a problem with the slipstreamed Sp2 disk, it must work with Sp1 and the sata ontroller disk.
If everything is correct installed:
under IDE drives in Bios is none, the sata/raid controller must be enabled and in boot order
the sata/raid controller (or other scsi/raid devices) must be ontop (higher) than Hdd.

I sometimes have to reset the priority of the loading order with my SATA drive. You do that in the Bios. It may have reset itself in there when you uninstalled windows. You do this under Bios> Advanced Bios Features > Hard Disk Boot Priority Then move the SATA drive to the top of the list, assuming that it is not the only drive. Then move the drive you want prioritised to the top with + and -
Pentium 4 3.0e Gig processor, Abit IC7-G Mother Board, Corsair DDR400 x2 512Meg RAM, 40Gig software HDD pri (converted ATA>SATA), 80Gig Audio (ATA) sec HDD, Audiophile 2496 PCI Sound Card, Roland UM2 USB Midi x2 IO, USB Protection device, Optorite DVD RW dble Drive, Rage 128 Pro Graphics card, Digimate 19" TFT It'll happen...
