QUOTE(3shen @ Dec 21 2010, 01:19 AM) Because your hard drive is set to SATA mode instead of IDE in the BIOS. Windows XP only recognizes a hard drive when its in IDE mode. If that is the case it will show that there is no drive..that is why I asked TS to post screenshot whether it is the screen that shows there is no HDD detected or after thatWindows Vista and above recognizes SATA mode so you wouldn't have the same issue if installing them. As for how to solve your problem, in most BIOS, your able to change the mode the hard drive is configured to run in. Unfortunately your Mini does have this option. So you have to slipstream the SATA drivers (which can be downloaded from Intel ) in the XP installation image using nLite. Try to google this, you'll find guides all over   |

QUOTE(jason83 @ Dec 21 2010, 01:33 AM) Thanks guys for guiding me to the correct direction. I am reading about nlite now. No need to slipstream it..seriously it is not worth the timeInstead go to your BIOS and find an option where you can change from AHCI to IDE..that should solve your problem and you can format like normal |

QUOTE(3shen @ Dec 21 2010, 01:54 AM) I have formatted a HP Mini 210 before, there isnt an option to change the modes like i mentioned in my post. Made an error there with the "does" If that is the case then I'd rather ghost it than slipstream..a lot of hassle to slipstream |

Maybe I shouldn't have recommended ghosting..it is easy if you have everything in place but definitely not an option for you
You can try formatting to Windows 7 again..it should not prompt you for any SATA drivers |
