700456 2008-08-26 06:59:00 You'll have to find the sata drivers (it sounds like its a sata hard drive). And copy them to a floppy. Then press F6 when it says to press F6 (with the floppy in)

Or find the AHCI mode option, in the BIOS and change it to IDE mode, then save the settings. Then try again

Its a different key for different systems
