another sata problem
so Ive read a lot of older internet articles that say that windows XP doesnt naturally support SATA drives and you have to do a repair install and hit F6 and instert a floppy (I dont even have a floppy drive) to install the SATA drivers. I ghosted my IDE to my SATA drive and it boots, but there are some weird problems i'm having when i boot into the SATA drive. The steps i took to ghost were:
install the SATA drive install stuff from cd that came with SATA drive run norton ghost from IDE to the new SATA drive have Bios boot to SCSI and like I said, it boots, but with weird issues for example, some generic windows 32 file thing crashes right when the comp starts (i get the error message) when i start firefox, the top bar looks like old school internet explorer for a while before switching to what it should look like I can't play any music what's going on? |

XP has SATA drivers your thinking of sata running RAID, thats what pushing F6 is to install your raid drivers

so...... does this mean I need to do a repair install of XP and hit F6 to install some drivers (which would be a major problem because I have no floppy drive)? I feel like it is some other issue that I just dont know about |
