Hi, I will be installing windows xp on a new Maxtor SATA drive. I know that it is usually necessary to install SATA drivers before installing WinXP on this type of drive. I have the motherboard's CD but am unsure which drivers I will need to put on a floppy. The board is an ASUS P4P800 SE and he is a link to its DL site http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=P4P800%20SE
Any suggestions appreciated.

Yes I believe it is F6. I am just unsure which drivers to copy onto a floppy from the CD. I know that a SATA drive is usually listed in the bios alongside SCSI, so I am leaning toward those drivers -considering the Motherboard doesn't have SCSI capabilities and thats the closest related folder on the CD.

you will need to explore the cd,i think you need to look for RAID drivers and or check the motherboard manufactors site to find the right ones.
