Re: Proper hard drive detection on the Abit KV8 mobo w/VIA K8T800 NB & VT8237 SB Win2K?

When i installed mint the hard drive was clean with no OS. Remember i could never get win2k installed. So linux mint never had a option to install alongside windows that wasn't there. I will just yank the sata drive and place it into another computer that will natively recognize it. That way i can …

Re: Proper hard drive detection on the Abit KV8 mobo w/VIA K8T800 NB & VT8237 SB Win2K?

Dmetsys you were 100% correct about the usb floppy drive. I hooked up a internal floppy and bingo my win2k recognized the driver and installed to the hard drive! Thank you so much as i have been chasing my tail for days! Now i have another issue with my MBR. You see once win2k installs to the hard …

Re: Proper hard drive detection on the Abit KV8 mobo w/VIA K8T800 NB & VT8237 SB Win2K?

It's Win2k Pro and I doubt it has any of the 4 service packs. I think i have owned that disk since day one. I didn't try XP Pro this round but I can go back and try the last drivers i posted. I will need to check if any of my XP disc have any service packs or not. I will see what i can do with the …

Re: Proper hard drive detection on the Abit KV8 mobo w/VIA K8T800 NB & VT8237 SB Win2K?

Let me explain a little bit more. I have a bastardized board direct from ABIT. The mobo is actually a KV8-MAX3 so the Northbridge is a "K8T800". However my mobo does not have the sata controller at the bottom. If you look at the KV8 PRO it has the "K8T800 PRO" Northbridge. The boards have different …

Re: Proper hard drive detection on the Abit KV8 mobo w/VIA K8T800 NB & VT8237 SB Win2K?

I forgot that you need to upload the pictures in reverse. Anyway after looking at these photos again it does say VT8237 in the driver strings. So i have no idea what the issue is. I had read somewhere that the hard drives needed to be slowed down to SATA 1 with the jumpers. I didn't need to do that …
