Thanks John,
yes the F6 was used but the install 'crashed' it looks like i
have now some form of -hybrid- install , with the sata drivers
running - after- the boot sequence has compleated ..
Any attempt to the run the set from the cd now results in a blue-
screen crash
Looks like the only way is to set the m-board back to IDE .. then
I assume xp will
re configure back to IDE ?
Q trying to install 'sata' after windows is installed , looks -
not- to be possible .or at the very least
needs quite a involved set of reg-dits .. etc ???
Tnx - G.
