problem reinstalling to a sata hard drive

[Shoj]

when reformatting the drive, this is what goes down, i hit f6 to install drivers, press S to specify, then i get an error saying this

File txtsetup.oem caused and unexpected error (1024) at line 1747 in d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.

how the hell do i get it to work? after it says that it tells me to either quit or continue, if i continuethen it says there arent any hardrives installed

thanks

This can happen when your floppy drive is dirty/failing or thee floppy itself is corrupt. Try cleaning your drive and/or a new floppy.

Good Luck.

When using the floppy method make sure all the driver files are in the root of the disk. Use no folders. I made this mistake several times.

Try to update your mainboard's bios. May helps.. For me it worked..

I've had this problem before. Did you boot with the floppy in the drive? The solution was to boot without the floppy and only insert it when prompted.
