How to install, partition, and format a Serial ATA drive in Windows XP.
Question
How do I install, partition, and format a Serial ATA drive in Windows XP?
Answer
Windows XP has the necessary tools to properly install a Serial ATA (SATA) drive. Please follow the appropriate step-by-step instructions for your configuration below (either a Single Install or Adding a Second Drive).
Single Install:
1. Make sure your drive is detected by your SATA controller.
2. Insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the system.
Note: You may need to press the F6 key to load the driver for the SATA controller before XP can find a drive to install to. See Answer ID 127 for more information.
3. From the partitioning option screen, create the partition size you want by pressing C. If you are formatting using FAT32, each partition cannot be larger than 32GB. For more information about this limitation, please see Microsoft Article 184006.
If you are formatting using NTFS, there is no size limit on partitions. After the partition(s) have been created and formatted, continue with the Windows XP installation.
Adding a Second Drive:
1. Make sure your drive is detected by your SATA controller.
2. Start Windows XP.
3. Once Windows has fully booted up, access Disk Management by first clicking on the Start button.
4. Select Run.
5. In the text box type diskmgmt.msc and click OK
6. When Disk Management opens, a wizard may appear entitled: Initialize and Convert Disk Wizard.
Note: You must use this wizard to write a Signature to the drive otherwise, the drive will not work with Windows XP. If the wizard does not appear, you may need to manually complete this process following the steps below:
1. Right click on the name of the drive to be initialized. (Drives are numbered as follows: drive 0 being the boot drive and drive 1-3 are all other drives. For CDs, the first CD is CD 0 the second CD 1 and so forth.)
2. Choose Initialize from the menu that appears.
3. The next screen shows the drive you selected to initialize. Make sure the drive is checked and click Next.
4. You will have the option to convert the drive from basic to dynamic storage.
Leave this unchecked and click Next.
5. Click Finish
For more information about Basic and Dynamic storage, see Answer ID 282.
Partitioning/Formatting:
Note: In two separate windows, on the right side of the screen, a graphical representation of the partitions on the installed drives will be displayed. The top window is for viewing a drives status, capacity, and file system. In the bottom window, you will see a representation of the drives in the system starting with the boot drive (drive 0). In almost all cases, you will want to work with the bottom window.
1. Once the disk is initialized, right-click in the unallocated space.
2. Click on Create Partition from the menu.
3. A new wizard will appear: Create Partition Wizard. Click Next to continue.
4. On the next screen select either Primary or Extended Partition and click Next to continue.
5. You may assign a drive letter that is not in use by other devices if you wish, then click Next to continue.
6. Select the type of format (NTFS or FAT32). Leave the allocation unit size at default and label the drive as desired.
7. Enter the desired partition size. If using FAT32, your partition cannot be larger than 32GB.
8. Click Finish when done.
J'attends que le formatage se finisse et je confirme!
