please help me with my SATA Hard Drive Problem
by malcolm.hansen2 - 4/16/06 11:58 AMHi,
I have the following configurations
Intel Pentium D 3.0 Ghz x64
Asus P5N32-SLi Deluxe Motherboard
2 x 1GB DDR2 533 Mhz Transcend Chips
250 GB Seagate SATA Drive
nVidia 6600GT 256MB DDR3 PCI-E
My problem is, after installing the motherboard drivers, I see my hard drive as a USB Device. Its always ON, on my taskbar tray. I cannot stop that. I thought it was some system error, so I formatted and tried again, but still the same problem. Also after I formatted my system, the DATA on my e drive disappeard. It shows me an empty drive but the space used is about 30GB (That might be my data hidden somewhere) I have 4 partitions. This is a headache, can anyone please help me with this.

So you have to go to the Motherboard site which is ASus. Get the correct drivers from them for your Sata drive.
I had to do the same thing a little anoying but after trial and error my sata drive runs well with at this moment know issues.
Good Luck

It's a known annoyance item. But since SATA was designed for removal, it may be just fine.

Hi I found the solution

This is what can be done and it works
Please enter windows add/remove ,
find the nVIDIA DRIVERS item ,
choose delete it ,
when it ask you choose which part to delete ,
please only choose the NV IDE driver (cancel others parts) to continue .
after it is done ,reboot system ,test again
It has worked for me on my P5N32-SLi Motherboard
