RE: Installing xp pro - SATA HD not detected

 

Has anyone solved this problem. I am trying to go back to XP from Vista and I

seem to always have this problem when i install a new windows software but

this time it is being persistent that it cant find any drives and it also

does not like the mobo raid driver. I am trying to install XP Pro x64 on

Intel 975X mobo

Intel Q6600 Quad Processor

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS

Twin Seagate Barracudas 160 GB

Creative Labs Sound Card

Sony Floppy Drive

During the install process of XP, at the bottom of the screen, a message to

press F6 to install 3rd party drivers appears.

 

You need to create a SATA drivers disk from the mobo drivers disk which then

allows the HDD to be detected and the OS can then be installed.
