Prince of Calcutta Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 insert your windows xp cd and boot from it .. then as the setup starts you'll see a message at the bottom saying 'press f6 to install additional devices' or something similar .. so press f6 then after it copies a few files you'll get a promt to press s to install additional devices. then you press s and then it asks for a floppy and you can insert the floppy with the sata drivers. if the floppy is already in the drive it will just go ahead and install the drivers when you press sbut if there is more than one setof driver on the floppy you ll get a menu listing them out and you can choose the appropriate onewhich motherboard do you have installed ? might be able to be more precise then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
