Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 (rev. 2.0) SATA question

[dtac7]

Hi, I recently purchased the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 (rev. 2.0) mother board. I am getting ready to install Windows XP for the 1st time on this new build. I have a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive and a LiteOn SATA DVD Rom (no other CD/DVD rom).

Will my DVD Rom be recognized?
If so do I have to do the "F6 Windows Setup Floppy Drive SATA" setup to recognize the hard drive?

Why does gigabyte list 2 Sata contoller drivers for this mother board (GIGABYTE SATA2 RAID Driver and Intel ICH9R Driver? Do I install them both? Do I do the floppy for both?

No need to use the F6 key drivers unless you install in AHCI or RAID mode. It'll recognize your SATA drive and HD fine.

Yeah, what he said. So far I'm very happy with my GA-P35-DS4

Thanks!

I should install both the SATA drivers, GIGABYTE SATA2 RAID Driver and Intel ICH9R Driver after Windows is loaded?
