Hey guys. Im trying to format/reinstall XP pro and when i attempt to reinstall the computer finds no Hard Disk Drives, where i have 2 (only 1 is powered atm though). I have downloaded the Seagate Disc Wizard (i have a Seagate Barracuda 120 gig) and made the floppys i thought i need for the drivers, but they didnt work. What do i need to get so that my windows disc recognises the drives?
note: I lost the discs that came with the ASUS P5GD1 mobo...

is it a serial ata drive?
Usually when loading xp you need to press f6 pretty early on in the setup and have a serial ata driver disk from your motherboard manufactorer. Then your hard disks will show up as long as they are not faulty. If its ide then maybe your disc is dead.

Seagate will not have that driver.
I tried to find the driver you need on the Asus site, but I did not find it. Use this page to send a driver disk request to Asus. You won't be able to get anywhere unless you have a disk with the driver you need.

Sometimes with an Asus board, if you boot from the motherboard CD it often offers to make a serial ata floppy for you.
Here's a link to the drivers download page for your mobo. Download the sata drivers from here.
