I have an A7N8X-E board with WinXP on an IDE drive. I installed a SATA
drive, to be used for data, but XP won't recognixe it. I got the Silicon
SATA driver, but am not sure what to do with it, or wheter it is needed.

I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you very much!

Is the drive recognized by the SATA BIOS during startup?

I had a similar problem. After much research and trial and error, I
had to reinstall windows and during the setup, press F6 to install
SATA drivers such as you would for installing a SCSI drive.
