astarrh Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I think this would be a problem if I decide to reformat as well...I've got a sony VAIO here that came with MCE preinstalled and Windows Installer won't detect the hard drive. I am suspecting it needs SATA drivers. I downloaded the appropriate drivers from Sony's site and plugged in an external floppy drive, but after hitting F6 I get the following message:Setup was unable to load support for the mass storage device you specified. Currently, Setup will load support for the following mass storage device(s):<none>It still lets me "specify additional SCSI adaptors" by pushing S. I get a list of four, and each returns the following error: File iaStor.sys caused an unexpected error (32768) at line 2113 in d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\oemdisk.c.Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is my disk corrupted? Are my drivers not working? Should I find different ones, or should I dare to try slipstreaming SP3 into my discs and repairing with them? Would that even work? If anyone can help me, I'd much appreciate it, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp0iLedBrAt Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 If it is Intel SATA, why not try Fernando_1's modified drivers here: . They are optimized for minimum mistakes. Slipstreaming SP3 to MCE has been known to downgrade version number to 2.8 (if I remember well), so either don't try it or find a really good guide. I think there's a really good one here at MSFN.Make sure you copy the drivers to the root of the floppy, not in a folder.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
