I had this problem since long time but never needed a desperate solution as such now I want. First let me tell you what exactly is wrong. Few months back when I was trying to Boot from Vista DVD for installation, my HDD didn't get detected. Rather I tried 2-3 times and later all was fine. I used Vista for a while. In between while I was trying to dual boot for Linux the same problem occurred, again I tried loads of time and finally it worked. But this time it isn't working. My HDD isn't getting detected.(This time too dual boot). I am currently posting with my windows xp SP2 running smoothly.My friend just messaged me to *set my SATA HDD to Native mode* and the problem will be solved. Now I don't know how to do that :4-dontkno and that friend of mine is kinda busy to reply.:upset:So please help me ray:.Heres my required RIG details.*Mobo*- ASUS M2N MX SE*Processor*- AMD ATHLON X2 5200+*RAM*- 1GB DDR2 667Mhz*HDD*- WD1600 160GB SATASorry for my bad language.
