 |
|
So after a few weeks of frustration, I found out I needed a new XP Pro disc.
I ordered one and received it today. Before I found out the old cd was
screwed up, I went into my hard drives RAID utility on startup and performed
a low level format, wish I hadnt. So now I have my new disc and windows setup
will finally start without giving me a blue screen stop error. But now a new
problem has popped up. Windows setup cannot find any hard drives to install
to. The hard drive is connected properly just like it has always been. I even
can see it in my raid utility. But according to windows setup, it says theres
no hard drive there. So if anyone has ANY idea as to why windows setup will
not find a hard drive to install to, please Im open to anything. Also,
windows did manage to find my portable usb drive and listed that as a
partition to install to.
Here are my specs
AMD 3200+xp
Asus motherboard A7N8X Deluxe
Seagate Barracuda 7200 120gb SATA hdd
Nvidia Geforce 6800GS
2gb of pc3200 corsair ram |

You must hit F6 during loading windows while installing, to load the sata
drivers off floppy disk, it will not look anywhere else for the drivers.
