Expert: Ray Barham Date: 7/4/2008 Subject: Installing SATA drivers
Question I recently submitted a question re a fresh install of Windows XP SP.2 onto a SATA drive that I installed in my Wintel desktop. Upon beginning the install process, I followed your instructions to press F6 to install the drivers for the SATA drive (which I have on CD-ROM from the manufacturer). Apparently, it wants a floppy disk, and the floppy drive for this unit hasn't worked in some time. Is there another option?
Answer Bryan,
You can create a streamline cd with the appropriate files on the same disk as the windows installation that you're performing. It's little tough, but you can do it. Here's a link
