Wallsch Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So I'm trying to install Windows XP from USB. I get to the point where it checks my C drive and says it can't find anything or something to that effect. I have been reading online that I need the sata drivers in the install ISL. When I attempt to put them in using nlite this is what shows. Which is not a driver for Dell Optiplex 755. My service tag is:544jyf1Got my drivers from here http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/servicetag/544jyf1?s=BIZAny help would be great. Thanks.

Sp0iLedBrAt Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 According to this http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_755_techspecs.pdf , all 4 versions use Intel® Q35 Express Chipset (ICH9DO), so it's probably one of the last two. It's probably the last, but I can't say it for sure.You might want to wait around for another answer.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allen2 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'd say the last one if you're using ahci mode in the bios, the one before if you're using raid ahci, no driver needed if you're using ata mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking online I think maybe my Ethernet driver is not working. I went to device manager and Ethernet is in the unknown category. Also tried the first driver on dell website and no love.

Sp0iLedBrAt Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Can you post the Hardware IDs? You can find them by double-clicking the Unknown, selecting the Details tab, and choosing Hardware IDs from the drop-down menu. The first (and the second maybe) will do fine.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
