| 721631 | 2008-11-20 09:45:00 | When I installed Windows XP on my new computer with a Sata2 drive, I didn't have to install SATA drivers either. :) |

| 721632 | 2008-11-20 17:50:00 | I think everyone is getting muddled the OP said they cloned the drive so might need to install Sata drivers. Where as everyone else is talking about a clean install that obviously loads them during the install process | gary67 (56) | ||
| 721633 | 2008-11-20 19:33:00 | Gary67 thank you Can the SATA drive be installed after the clone? |

| 721634 | 2008-11-20 19:44:00 | Well no I dont think you can, which is why I said the only way you're going to install SATA drivers, is if you do a clean install | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 721636 | 2008-11-20 20:28:00 | Doesn't SP2 come with sata support? You might need to create a slipstreamed XP disc... | utopian201 (6245) | ||
| 721637 | 2008-11-21 08:42:00 | Doesn't SP2 come with sata support? You might need to create a slipstreamed XP disc... No you still need to have the applicable sata AHCI drivers if you have the bios set in AHCI mode (Recommended for performance) you can change it to ide emulation mode however. |

| 721638 | 2008-11-21 08:46:00 | Windows XP Pro purchased a Seagate 320Gb SATA hdd used Seagate Diskwizard to prepare the new hard drive cloned the 80Gb ide hdd to the 320Gb removed the 80Gb the computer wont boot - cycles through the initial boot process. Bios recognizes the SATA drive.. Seems I may have missed step. Can anyone help me out? Option a) as previously mentioned enter the bios, change the motherboard to ide emulation mode. Option b) create a custom windows xp cd with the sata raid/ahci drivers slipstreamed/integrated. I recommend using Nlite for this you need a working windows computer, the original xp cd, and the motherboard sata drivers (download latest from manufacturer website). Use this to do a repair install which will install the Sata drivers. Option c) if you have a usb floppy drive, or normal floppy drive you can save sata drivers to the floppy, do a repair install and press f6 while prompted to load drivers. Option B) is actually easier if you ask me these days. |
