1246323 2011-12-02 02:37:00 Oh by the way. What is slipstreaming? ChazTheGeek (16619)
1246324 2011-12-02 02:40:00 Do you know where i can get SATA drivers? How do I apply them? ChazTheGeek (16619)
1246325 2011-12-02 02:52:00 drivers - search the website of your motherboard brand then search for the model .... it should have instructions how to use.

slipstreaming is like adapting the windows setup DVD to include more other stuff so you don't need to spend more time updating fixes etc ... or service packs .....

1246326 2011-12-02 03:12:00 Is this a laptop or PC ??

Is there an option in the bios to turn OFF ACHI mode ??

Windows XP install DOES NOT usually need sata drivers to detect the HD's, unless its in ACHI mode or some sort of
raid mode in the bios.

1246327 2011-12-02 03:32:00 Its a PC. There is a ACHI off option in the BIOS.I put the jumper on. Thanks for the answers! Any more advice? ChazTheGeek (16619)
1246328 2011-12-02 03:37:00 Well like we've said if the BIOS cant see it change the jumper on the hdd to SATA 150. Then it will. If the BIOS can see it but windows setup cant, disable AHCI save settings. Then you can install Windows (XP) if thats what youre trying to install

Does the mobo support SATA 1 and 2 or just 1?? If 1, and the hdd is SATA 2 ONLY, change the jumper to SATA 1. Have you actually tried doing any of the things we've posted?

1246330 2011-12-02 03:45:00 So, we've wasted 18 posts and you've done nothing since yesterday Speedy Gonzales (78)
1246331 2011-12-02 04:28:00 No you haven't wasted them I've started doing it just now. What you have told me is valuable information. Thanks again. ChazTheGeek (16619)
