Got my new Seagate Barracuda 120GB SATA H.D. and not too sure how to get it sorted to run.
Do I just put it in and then install Windows ?

I heard a rumour that I needed Service pack 2 to use SATA but I dont have Service pack 2 so can I still get it to work.

Not too sure how it works here.
Think I need to press F6 to install drivers at boot up or something.
Is that before Ive loaded XP, before I install anything, before Formatting, or what ?


2nd little problem I have is how do I format, and partition the drive in two before I install Windows ?
I need it to be NTFS right ? Not too sure here.

Thanks for all your great help.
