granpa Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I have a HP mini 311 i received as a gift that had Windows 7 on it, which had expired and required purchase, and as I was unable to purchase a license to it I proceeded to try a Win XP install. At the time i had no idea of the sata drive and of course formatted the drive and the bios doesnt seem to any sata setup on it. It has a ION chipset. And i have found the required drivers for my needs.I have some knowledge of slipstreaming and had done so with before with SP3. I tried to do so again currently with the sata drivers but i haven't been able to to figure out why it hasnt worked or what is wrong or what i am doing wrong.I really need some assistance and hope someone can help.

granpa Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 how may i find out which chipset i may have to follow the instructions and which drivers i need to download? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 In your first post you said you had the drivers. Start here: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Lookup?h_la...p;submit=Go+%BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granpa Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Yes, i did say i had drivers but after reading the posting that was provided by Submix8c, there appears to be different drivers applying to different chipsets i.e. NF4-7 or MCP73. Hence the new question about how to determine what chipset i have, i do thank you for the link to the HP site but that just lead me to the drivers for the chipset which i already have.I just need and want to make sure i have the proper SATA drivers for the chipset i have.

Guest Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Without a running system it's hard to tell. From that link I posted, what is the exact model number for your Mini? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that link I posted, what is the exact model number for your Mini?Hi -X-,Sorry should have been more informative earlier.My mini is a HP mini 311 1037NR.I kinda feel foolish about this whole thing, it never occurred to me that this was more than a simple format and install.
