| 1246989 | 2011-12-04 08:02:00 | Just got this HP mini notebook from a friend which needs an XP Home reinstalled as it is badly corrupted. Checked and found that the recovery partition has somehow disappeared. Problem was, this 'smart' guy trying clean up this machine by deleting quite a lot of his programs software and now it is in a very bad shape. Tried to reinstall with XP CD but half-way through, error message says that no disk found. Probably I need the SATA driver, but where can I get it? Went to HP site but couldn't locate the driver for it. Please help. Cheers |

| 1246990 | 2011-12-04 08:09:00 | See if theres a restore partition on it. If there is, burn the ISO. Or if there's an AHCI option in the BIOS disable it. The SATA drivers maybe in the chipset drivers? You'll need something like 7zip to extract the exe file (for the chipset drivers) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1246991 | 2011-12-04 09:06:00 | 1. The restore partition has been deleted. 2. There is no option in the BIOS to enable/disable AHCI / SATA drive 3. SATA driver is not in the chipset drivers. |

| 1246992 | 2011-12-04 09:24:00 | Did you extract SP44796 with 7zip?? You right mouse on this file / 7zip option / extract to SP447896. I think the SATA drivers are in the ALL folder. And did you load ich7id2.inf?? It looks like this inf file had SATA info in it. You have to copy the ALL folder to a floppy or something, and press F6 during the install of XP | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1246993 | 2011-12-04 09:46:00 | I have an HP mini 110, and it never had a restore partition. Instead they expected you to make recovery CDs, when you first got it. A pity it didn't have a CD writer to do this, luckily I had an external one. | robbyp (2751) | ||
| 1246994 | 2011-12-04 12:14:00 | I think if you ask HP nicely, they will sell you a recovery disk h10025.www1.hp.com |

| 1246995 | 2011-12-04 20:27:00 | CPUz identified the chip set as Intel i945GSE, SouthBridge: 82801GHM (ICH7-M/U). I downloaded the ICH7M/MDH SATA AHCI driver from Intel but the installation still could not recognise the Sumsung HDD! Could someone here guide me to the right track to download the correct SATA driver, please? |

| 1246996 | 2011-12-04 21:18:00 | So you downloaded the F6 drivers from Intel. Then pressed F6 during the install of XP? Where in Auckland are you? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1246997 | 2011-12-04 21:48:00 | Yes. I downloaded the driver from Intel, Pressed F6 during the installation process and also, used the chipset driver from HP as you suggested, extracted and copied the files to floppy but the installation error says that "txtsetup.oem could not be found". I'm in Pakuranga |

| 1246998 | 2011-12-04 23:05:00 | Try these (downloadmirror.intel.com) <- direct link. Extract with 7zip. Then extract the IMA file again, with 7zip. Copy the files in the F32 folder to a floppy. Then press F6 during the install. This file has a txtsetup.oem file in it. If these work, I would slipstream them using Nlite. It'll save you looking for them in case something goes wrong again | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
