Hello! Iâ€™ve bought a brand new SATA hdd for my computer. Iâ€™ve had a Maxtor Diamond ATA 80GB by now. So I installed new hdd, it was recognized in bios normally, but when I put Windows XP Professional installation CD, it asked me for floppy with SATA drivers which I didnâ€™t get with my HDD! How can I install windows on this hdd?

Hello there! The problem is that windows XP installation doesnâ€™t have SATA drivers prepared. You need to go to your motherboard manufacturerâ€™s website and download appropriate SATA driver for your chipset. Write it to a floppy and have it ready when windows setup asks for it. Double-check that the floppy is not corrupted.
