Re: Windows XP - Installing to SATA _WITHOUT_ a Floppy Disk

Hi All

For the past week I tried this approach to get XP to recognise a SATA HDD, without success. This morning: Eureka!!! I simply went into the BIOS and disabled the IDE channel. XP then immeiately installed successfully. Hope this is of use to someone.
