Added on January 21, 2008, 10:41 pmOh one more regarding this QUOTE(SubKi||er @ Aug 10 2007, 11:15 AM) Load the SATA/RAID drivers from floppy can these steps be applied to install windows for desktop?For those who have access to USB floppy drives, here's the step how you want to get XP Setup to detect your SATA harddrive.[list=1] [*] Attach USB floppy disc [*] Copy SATA/RAID drivers to floppy [*] Reboot and boot from XP Setup disc [*] Look at the bottom of the screen and hit F6 when it says "Press F6 to load blah blah blah" [*] A screen will show a list of drivers to load from the floppy which in most case only 1 item in the list [*] Select the driver there and XP Setup should be able to detect your hard drive [*] Resume XP installation as how you do normally This post has been edited by waruna: Jan 21 2008, 10:41 PM |

QUOTE(waruna @ Jan 21 2008, 10:29 PM) is there any other way to detect the hd instead using floppy? You could try using pendrive with a floppy drive which i haven't personally try but i have people telling me that it works.Added on January 21, 2008, 10:41 pmOh one more regarding this can these steps be applied to install windows for desktop? Yes, same steps applies to desktop only drivers that is selected is different. For example laptop users might select a "Mobile" version of the driver while desktop user choose the other non-mobile version of the driver to load. |

subkiller,
You mean that the NTLDR file is missing from my current OS and not from the CD? What do you mean by rerunning the setup? I have to reinstall my OS to get the CD working? Confused here, please help |
