ok my pc got a virus either in a hidden partition on the hard drive and possible in the bios, I think. So, When i tried to boot it would take me into a black screen with just my cursor. I got my XP disk and popped it in and it said hard drive not detected;after which i got my Linux CD and it wouldn't load after installation. At this point i was annoyed so i burned DBAN to a disk and nuked the HDD and cleared CMOS. After this on xp it still said HDD not detected, so i just installed linux. I then tried finding my WMP300n driver for linux and found out they don't have any.I also read there are multiple ways to install it tho, but they were a bit complex and seemed like a pain in the a**. I noticed how big of a noob I was with Linux so I tried to install xp and it said HDD not detected. OS: XP pro sp1 ubbuntu SATA raptor I had XP sp2 on before, but my father lost my disk. I'm guessing that it is because sp1 doesn't have the drivers on the disk and i need to slip stream the disk.That is just my logical guess. So I made a slipstreamed disk with sp3 and and put the drivers on but idk if i did it right, because it didn't pick up my hdd still. here are the drivers. # SIIG Serial ATA Controller Card Driver # WD Serial ATA RAID Controller Card Driver found here:http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=601〈=en The SIIG is a .ZIP which breaks down to: readme si3112 si3112.ini SI3112 si3112.mpd siisupp.vxd silsupp silsupp.dll siwinacc txtsetup.oem and The RAID Controller is a .ZIP which breaks down to: win2000(folder) winxp(folder) Wnet(folder) Fasttx2k readme txtsetup.oem I use the newest version of Nlite. before I clicked "single driver" and clicked the ini in the folder and it said which os do you use and i selected winxp. then created the .ISO and burned it to a disk.
