| 254571 | 2004-07-22 07:16:00 | I have everything ready and it is all go but XP in the set-up cannot detect a HD and fails it. I have not altered or touched the HD and it obviously works when I quit and restart. What now? I also read that XP has problems detecting whether a bios is ACPI capable and must be entered on start-up with CD. As I only found that on one site I ignored it but now if it cannot find my HD I am wondering about that. Regards |

| 254573 | 2004-07-22 21:12:00 | It may be that your HDD is SATA or SCSI?? Which means you need to put the drivers for the controller chip onto a floppy disc and when you boot off the WinXP CD you have to press F6 at the start to tell it you have one of those HDD's. |
