MacOSXrocksToo Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 O.K., here is the deal, I have a Windows XP Pro cd, that my cousin got from Microsoft, and I have a Windows XP Media Center Edition DVD that came with my computer. I want to take off Media Center, and put Pro on, But when I boot from the Pro cd, Expecting to delete the Media Center Partition, I get a message saying that there is no Hard Drive found, press f3 to quit setup. I have read something online about legacy drives, but my BIOS does not seem to have anything to do with that. Under what section would legacy drives be under? Is that what I need to change?THANKS! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 If you use a RAID or SCSI disk, you will need a 3rd party driver. This will have come with the computer and is usually on a floppy disk. Press F6 before the install begins to load it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacOSXrocksToo Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 ok, do you know where I can get that driver?I used to use RAID, but then I set the disks to non RAID.

intelguy Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 You should be able to get the driver from the computer or motherboard manufacturer's website. There should be a section for driver downloads. Also, if the motherboard uses an Intel chipset, Intel will have the dirver; nvidia chipset, Nvidia will have it, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacOSXrocksToo Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 ok, i got all the drivers on my external HD. I am taking the media center off and putting professional on.By the way, the problem was that the SATA Operation was wrong, it was set to ACHI.Thanks!
