Install win XP for Gateway MT6821 SATA drive not found

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
OK I have read the other threads but still cant get this to work. I went to the link to down load the intel SATA/Raid Drivers. Therre is no exe file with it. Just a ZIP file. I ran that and there is abunch of files but no EXE. I tried coping these to a floppy drive and F6ing during installing and it comes up with 4 different raid drivers. I tried all 4 of them but still can NOT get the drive to be seen. Any HELP PLEASE. I need to get this up and running with XP.not vista.

you may need to mod the inf since there may not be a way to force the driver if there's a mismatch in deviceid.

that said, can you switch to ide mode (non native sata) in the bios? if so, that'd be the easier way to go. no loss in performance really
