P4C8-E Dlx -- SATA configured correctly?

I have just finished my first build -- which went pretty smooth, however I
have a niggly question (not to dumb I hope): Have I got the SATA driver
installed and running correctly, and, if so, how do I confirm I have? The
simple answer is I must have because the machine works , but Sandra tells
me that the disk is running below its optimum and I can't see any SATA
related items in the Device Manager (which going on other posts here I
suspect I should?!); only Ultra ATA Storage Controllers are listed.

Key components from build:
P4C800-E Deluxe
Intel P4 3.0Ghz
Seagate ST3120026AS (SATA 120Gb) connected to SATA1
XP Pro + SP1A

The install of XP picked up the drive (so I did not press <F6>). I had
trouble running the CD supplied by Asus on XP but was able to download and
install the Chipset Util and BIOS upgrade from their website. I have not
installed any other drivers e.g. Promise. Currently I am only looking to
have one SATA driver (no RAID).

Any pointers as to how I confirm that the correct drivers are installed to
ensure that I am getting the most from the SATA drive would be appreciated!

Thanks
Chris

 

You need to use the F6 option

 

Thanks ... does this mean that I'll have to reformat the drive and reinstall
XP etc.?

 

I thought one only need to press F6 if using the Promise controller
with a RAID? The F6 allowed you to install the Promise RAID
drivers into XP. No???
