Install On Sata Drive

[Mr.J!M]

I have a desktop with a SATA SEAGATE DISK (80GB)

the sata chipset is a SiS964-180

The mainboard is an MS8072

Basic install:

Insert cd W2K

cd boot

i type F6

i type S

i insert the floppy with good driver (W2K / XP)

it's ok the disk formating

begining to copy install file

here the system requiert sisraid.sys file from CD (He's on FLOPPY!)

and i must skip file :/

the same for the 5 files there are on floppy...

i skip all (the 5) and it's copying the rest of the install.

reboot

windows screen

blue screen (inacessible boot device..)

The main question (for me) is WHY THE W2K INSTALL RE-SEARCH ON CD instead of floppy... Especially when he have already find it on floppy on the first research

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?

My cd do not have Third party folder...Is it a problem?

is this an unattended os install cd? if so then depending upon the options set in your winnt.sif file you cannot use F6 to install driers from floppy. do a search for textmode sata driers there are numerous solutions to this problem. Or use Bashrat's driver pack.

[Mr.J!M]

Hum good idea!

I will verify this point on my winnt.sif file!
