    Hmmm, its funny cos i did somethin similar a week ago, well it wasn't funny then hehe. When you boot into the windows install, press f6, load your sata driver, then you can continue to do a clean install on the sata drive...it should show up. Have you changed the boot settings in the bios to set the cdrom to boot before hard drive - which can't boot anymore :-(

    Is your Scuzzy (SCSI: Small Computer Systems Interface) hard disk connected straight to the motherboard or is there a seperate card (a SCSI controller card) it connects to ?. If there is you probably get a message when you power on along the lines of "Adaptec AH2942 BIOS Loaded, Press F2 to configure". Basically something that says your SCSI card has powered on and is ready, and giving you an option to press something to configure it. When you do it should have an option somewhere to detect devices/drives and it should detect your hard-disk. In your motherboards BIOS setup, make sure that SCSI is selected in your list of boot devices/boot order and try installing windows again. Windows will more than likely auto-detect your SCSI controller and install ok. If not you'll need to read the make and model off of it, and download the drivers for F6-ing like with the Promise drivers

    Are you sure you have any SCSI drives? SCSI cables are similar size to IDE. It sould like you only have SATA drives.

    I shall chaeck out that BIOS / SCSI controller thing too!

    Thanks for the advice so far. It is much appreciated!
    Ah, it sounds like it's an SATA drive you have not SCSI, so you can pretty much ignore everything I said before. I haven't used SATA before so I don't really know anything about that.

    All you need to do is get SATA drivers and put them on floppy.

    Put in windows CD and press F6 when prompted, then everything should be simple from there.
