| Oh god almighty...
I got 2 Systems that have SATA, and both have been giving me greif, and funnily enough, one is the NF7S and the other is my MSI Delta, and the SATA card for that, is annoyingly...An SIL3112 too!!!
Right, I have managed to do a SATA installation with SP1, but the SP2 CD Failed... I am sure that they were the same everythings, but just upped to SP1 and SP2.
I am still workign on a SP2 one cos the drivers for the SATA card, and the original Floppy for the NF7S DO NOT WORK - even if from a floppy, they find the drivers using the F6 option, but then fail to load them from the floppy during the installation stage???? EH?
I have been trying with your method, and SP1 works, but not SP2.
Now, I can use the SP1 method, to install XP onto the HD, thenchuck SP2 into it and thats fine, but such a massive waste of HD space isnt it?
Right now, the NF7S is running no SATA drives purely so I can install with SP2 SlipStreamed, and the MSI is on pure SATA, but no SP2, so in the next couple of days, I will be doing some more messing and will see if I can update you anything? |
