Serial ATA drivers for fresh install of WinXP???
A friend of mine wants to do a fresh install of WinXP on a new SATA hard
drive. Of course it errors out soon after starting the install because WinXP doesn't have native SATA support. I know that if he had the drivers on a floppy disk he could hit 'F6' during the setup and install the SATA drivers (WinXP calls them SCSI drivers), but I can't find the drivers anywhere! Well, I did find them but they're in .exe format and I need them in .dll and ..sys files format. The board is the Intel D865GBF motherboard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- "I don't cheat to survive. I cheat to LIVE!!" - Alceryes |

Have you tried running the exe to see if it's a selfextracting zip file?
