I just got my Infinity today in the mail and everythings installed but I cant load WinXP onto it because its only looking for IDE HDDS and I only have MY 80 GB Seagate SATA drive installed and it doesnt see it. The manual is pretty much no help. How do I get my system to recognise my SATA HDD? Only an SATA/RAID floppy came with it.

PS.

Its a Rev. A+, is that good? or is there a much better rev B out there? (the CPU socket lever is plastic)

Hit f6 at the beginning of the Winodws install. Wait a minute or two and it will ask you to insert a floppy with the SI drivers (your motherboard should have been shipped with one). Then, everything should work fine.
