jcarle Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Move all the files on the diskette to the root of the floppy, then try installing using F6 during text-mode setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Are you starting the installation via winnt.exe from DOS, or booting directly into Windows setup using the CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordFett Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I have an Asus motherboard and a Maxtor 300gb SATA. I had the same problem until I made the floppy with the SATA drivers. I think there was even a utility that the mobo cd ran and created the floppy for me (not the physical floppy, just put the files on correctly for me).
