Hi Bâshrat....on this page : http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/drivers.htm It says: "For those who have a SATA/Raid setup, you may want to {Greenmachine's} page as the method outlined below cannot load your Hard drive controller drivers during Setup, nor does F6 work during an unattended installation." Alta: It did turn out to be a BIOS deal. It was set to use RAID, but I am not (just have 1 drive). Now that I turned all that "Fasttrack Controller - BIOS not installed" off, XP did finally see the drive in either of the RAID ports (Promise SATA378), but it still won't see the drive if its in the other 2. (The Intel ones, I guess). So my slipstreamed disk did work, but I guess its the opposite of how yours did! I have no clue why!

I just can't get this to work. I've followed every help page, I've gotten all the DriverPacks, installed those, but then when you click on the "overview" of how to use it all, it says this method won't work for installing SATA and bypassing the F6 thing. Go to greenmachines page ...etc. So do these driver packs work for SATA or not? So I've tried everything I can find - I have a fully functional SP2 disk with all this stuff slipstreamed on it, it loads everything known to man during the text setup, then it just says " Windows cannot find any had disks attached...etc" And then I have no choice but to quit setup. And all this because I don't have a floppy! How frustrating is this? I've tried it with the HD plugged into each of the 4 spots available mobo = Asus P4C800 - E - Deluxe Thanks in Advance!! Ben
