I need an extra SATA port for my XP machine. So far have tried 3 cards which look OK in Device Manager but with a HDD connected Windows will not boot up (in normal or Safe Mode)
In Device Manager under SCSI AND RAID Controllers all 3 cards come up as VIA Raid Controller 3249. But I don't think that's right as the chipset is VIA 6421A.
If I try and update the driver via the wizard it always fails. I can't identify the actual driver file, assuming I have it.
Any help much appreciated !
