ASUS K8V-X SE and st3160811as hdd

Hi all,

A mate has this mobo and the above hdd, which
is a Seagate SATA 2 160 GB hdd.

He's switched it to SATA 1 mode.

The prob seems to be, no matter what he does
he cant install Windows 2000 on it.

During the 2k install, it says it cant find it.

He's not running it in RAID, but when it gets detected in the BIOS (If he
presses TAB on the post screen),
it says Not enough disks to create a disk array or something, which I take
it has something to with RAID.

Which he's not using.

It either says this message, or it says please insert media.

I see in the manual, it says to go to advanced/onboard devices config/on
chip sata boot rom and enable it.

For RAID, but as above he's not using RAID.

And it doesnt matter if its enabled or disabled, 2k still wont install on
this SATA.

He's just updated the BIOS to 1501 which is the latest, but it made no diff.

So, has anyone got this mobo and using a SATA 2 hdd (jumpered to SATA 1),
and managed to get something on it??

Another thing is, there is a 20 GB IDE in the case which is working, BUT if
he connects the SATA and the floppy, it wont post? The PSU is 500W so that
shouldnt the prob.

Any help wld be appreciated

Thanx
