Hope thats enough info..... have tried lookin on seagate website for drivers but could not find them??

I don't see the SATA controller in that info.....is it integrated on the motherboard? If so, what is the motherboard make and model

If not, what is the make and model of the card.

Did you install the drivers correctly, following the f6, did it ask you where the drivers are, then you inserted the floppy, it found them, and then it went ahead from there?

If so, I would say you have a bad install and should go again. Check to make sure CD is clean

yes did all that as instucted installed raid controllers etc....only thing i did do was format hd from fat32 to ntfs whilst doing install ...have tried twice now and get same error..?
