Win2000 not seeing my SATA drives

    I'm trying to install Windows 2000 on a computer with 2 SATA drives and a Fasttrack controller. I press F6 when the installation starts, but am never asked for the driver disk. The setup process loads a bunch of stuff off the cd, then asks if I want to Setup. When I hit enter, I get the message that setup can't continue because no hard disks were found. Why does it seem like F6 is being ignored?


    Thanks alot.

    May need to keep tapping F6 once the prompt is shown, as that area to insert a floppy for extra drivers can wizz past pretty quickly, I kept missing it alot, but now keep tapping F6 once you see the prompt to hit F6 ( tap away for a bit ).
