Well I ran into a problem installing xp - brought me to an error message saying it could not detect any hard drives. After googling around I found that xp does not support the sata drivers automatically. So I tried using Nlite and attatched the sata controller driver but I was having problems creating the cd with Nlite. My friend told me today that it could possible be the bios needs to be updated to support the sata drive. Is there any other way I can load the sata drivers? - my laptop does not have a floppy drive but I do have a flash drive with me. Where should I go from here? I will post the error I was receiving in Nlite in a few minutes. Thanks In Advance guys and gals.
