    Quick help question

    In the middle of assembling my system based on Asus P5B Deluxe / E6600.

    Will be installing Windows from my original XP Pro CD (no SP1 or 2).

    I remember the whole 'pressing F6 and getting SATA drivers from floppy to install to HD' shenanigans but have forgotten where I get the drivers?

    Where can I get the relevant SATA drivers to put on my floppy, can anyone help?

    Can only find RAID drivers on the driver CD and I have no plans to use RAID.

    Chz

    Chunks (slightly embarassed)

    IIRC even though you are not using RAID you would still need to use the sata RAID drivers to get the hard drive working.

    put your asus cd into the cd drive (the one that came with the mobo) and boot from it, itll let you create a sata driver floppy.
