SATA installed, Windows stalls during loading.?





i have a chaintech 9cjs zenith board. i just bought a sata b/c my ide failed. i only have 1 sata installed and windows won't load. i installed the raid driver before installing windows and now on the loading windows screen (with the blue bar scrolling), it freezes. i've waited 10 minutes and nothing has happened. before i installed the raid drivers, but installed windows, at this screen i would be taken to a blue screen telling me there was an error. can anyone suggest anything??? thanks a lot.

as well as that, you have developed a keyboard error that's caused you to post that same question 4 times within 1 minute!!!
Reply:I am not sure why you need the RAID driver. Do you have a RAID card installed in your system or does the motherboard have a RAID adapter? If you have only one SATA drive, you don't need the RAID driver. Obviously it is looking for the RAID adapter and is freezing up on not finding it.





Check your BIOS to see if it recognizes the drive as a Primary drive. You may have to set it SATA0 to have it be the boot device.





I would suggest reinstalling Windows without the RAID driver.
