not quite unintended

[life101]

okay, i start with a completely empty computer

chipset: intel D915GLVG

installing from: benq1620 (PATA)

installing to: western digital wd1600js (SATA)

to be safe my cd has the following BTS DriverPacks:

Chipset 5.07.2

CPU 5.06

Graphics A 5.08

LAN 5.07.3 -

MassStorage 5.07.3

Sound A 5.08

WLAN 5.07

So I create, and format a partition for windows (NFTS of course), and right after it is done it gives me this msg:

"Setup cannot access the CD containing the Windows XP installation"

What seems most likely, from all the things that i've been reading is either

A. the driver pack is missing my drivers (wouldn't surprise me, i'm lucky like that)

B. the dvd drive doesn't like my cdrs/burners/etc (I've heard that some of these drives are very picky.)

What I need help with is...... What driver would I need? Is the sata controller determined by the hard drive? the mobo? something else?

I've got no floppy disk, but my other comp has nLite so I can probably work out how to slipstream the driver once I find it.

And if the problem is with the dvd drive, how am I supposed to fix that?!

WhaddayI do? This has been causing me all sorts of frustrations

any insight is greatly apprieciated

I can answer this for you. As for the rest, I would recommend reading and searching more before asking questions. You should also provide more information, such as posting your winnt.sif. For hardware, make sure to ask in hardware threads and give specs for your system.

As for sata controllers, if yours is on the mobo and not pci card, then you shouldn't need to install drivers. Again, this depends on what you have deleted from your uacd. Also, the only real need for sata drivers installed at f6 is for raid support and probobly if you have a pci sata card. I can't say 100% since I don't know your hardware and I've really only looked up info for my own.

if the HD gets partitioned from the cd I would think there are no read problems with the cdrom.
