IcemanND Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 If you have included an answer file in your installation CD you will not be able to use F6 to get the mass storage drivers from floppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Please don't take this as an offence to your knowledge , but I have seen it happen so many times that it is a possibility, and your report seem to go accordingly.You do not have by any chance one of those "smart" keyboards where Function Keys are actually implemented as "Second Function"?In the early stages of booting, you might need to press the "Fn" button to enable them, from what you write it seems like the "F6" keypress is not sensed.....jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kz26 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Your motherboard is quite new and you have a SATA hard drive. Try going into the BIOS and looking for an option like "SATA Legacy emulation" or something like that. This will allow the XP installer to recognize the HDD without any drivers. Once you finish installing go back to the BIOS and set it to native mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rnielsen151 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Dumb question....do you have either an internal floppy drive or a USB floppy drive hooked up? You need this to install the sata drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.Dew Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I have had errors like that before. Two things for you to do: 1: make sure you do a FULL format of the HD when asked which method of format to use. 2: if your SATA optical drive has a jumper to select master or slave, set it to slave. Windows XP can be one picky bugger when installing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BuckFush Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 ... 2: if your SATA optical drive has a jumper to select master or slave, set it to slave. ...I think master & slave do not apply to SATA. On a drive I just installed there are jumper pins, but documentation says they are only for the ATA (EIDE) version of the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
