    hi bros.

    i tried many ways from the forum (turn off card reader, change to SATA mode - i don't use RAID Array), bud the process could not continue cos it did not see the hard drive.

    I am using:

    - M7700 D900K
    - 100gb Seagate momentus 7200
    - Bios v.4.93

    I use USB Floppy disk with SATA driver for D900T and CD boot XP SP2 ( not D900K as I could not find out). And I can not continue now.

    Please help me

    Thanks so much

    Is it possible that the storage controller has just gone bad on the motherboard?...it would be quite old at this point.
