Windows installation stopped ahter driver floppy was read. File\x86\ahcix86.sys caused an error )18) at line 2108 in D:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c. Enter to continue, and there you get F3 to quit. When setup starts and I press F6 setup continues to load files. I have a Gigabyte GA-MA78LM-S2H v1.1 4GB ram three sata drives on native IDE. Changed keyboard from USB to PS/2, still skips F6. Reformatted the drive, no help.

I want to reinstall Vista Home to enable my HD (3) to run in ACHI or Raid mode. Are these drivers on the installation disk. Have a dual boot system runing Windows XP Home x32 and Vista Home x64. I have no problems with either, only want to be able to take full advantage of these sata drives. Any insight I would be most grateful. Thanking you in advance.
