Need driver for a Gateway NX510S.

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I've been trying to fix my manager's computer for her, but I need to reinstall Windows. (Now bear with me, I'm just figuring out this trick!) I'm trying to make a slipstream disk for it because the darn thing doesn't have a floppy drive for the hard disk driver. Dunno why Gateway hasn't realized that yet.

Trouble is, I can't seem to find a good driver. I've gone to Gateway's website, but the file seems to be corrupted or something. I'm having trouble making sure I'm getting the exact file anywhere else. One other site I tried, I extracted the file and then tried to use nLite, but none of the extracted files were the ones needed for it.

Can anyone either point me in the right direction or send me the file somehow, and maybe help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Welcome to NBF!

Your best bet is at Intel website. All SATA drivers can be found there. You can also check to see if you can disable AHCI within your BIOS setup, this way you will not need the SATA driver.

Hmm...I already looked to see if I could disable it, but the BIOS on this computer doesn't have much for options.

Ok, there might be another small issue. I can't dowload the driver on the Gateway, because I can't currently get Windows to run, so I have to do this on another computer. It won't let me extract .exe file because of it. Now what?

The exe files are self-extracted and installer in one. Could be that they do a check on the hardware before continuing.

What are the error messages, if any?

cheers ...

Yeah, sounds right. It says my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements.

Lies, I say.

Anyway, it's making this much more difficult then it should be. I don't have any other computer, let alone another Gateway to do this on. It would be nice if I could just get the files I need already extracted. Bleh.
