Windows also uses a separate driver so you may have problems if you did not have it set that way when the OS was installed. David Quote

I finally contacted Intel and they told me my mobo does not support eSATA and it will not work. Quote
Guest RedDog Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 XP is touchy about SATA in general. I had to slip[stream the SATA drivers in the XP install to get it to load the OS. If your MOBO does support SATA, Google slipsteam SATA drivers. There are several utilities that will do it. Quote
