Hummm Its like getting a Ferrari and driving it at 10 km/hr. When i start loading more softwares, then the system slows and a SATA will be needed then. If nothing works, i will be forced to reformat the machine.

I already added the driver via the backup cd given along with my laptop. I did use nlite. But the problem that i did was that, i turned off the sata mode via BIOS while installation and now when i turned it back, windows is going till the loading win XP window and its rebooting. One option i think i have to reinstall or format. Now i want to know if its possible to put the driver in some folder in the laptop so that when i turn on the SATA mode, the driver will be loaded and it will work fine. Thanks

I formatted my HP laptop. But i by mistake disabled the Sata via BIOS. Now the issue is that, once when the installation is all over and i enabled SATA. The laptop boots till the windows XP welcome screen & it reboots. As i already had the driver in the CD (i used nlite), i tried to boot via the cd and pressed F6 and went to choose the driver. But there, it only reads floppy and i dont have a floppy. How do i sort out my issue??? Do i have to reformat the system again or do a repair or what should i do????
