Cannot find Nvidia SATA drivers for my mobo

[McGraw]

Please help, I am tearing my hair out.

MoBo as per sig.

Just want to be able to do a clean install of XP on my raptor.

I need the files to copy to a floppy and use at the f6 prompt.

Thanks a lot.

but shouldnt XP detect a SATA drive natively in anycase?

I've already go that one, it's 28mb and is a Windows utility.

I need the file for the floppy.

Really annoying me. It should be a lot easier than this.

The files don't appear to be in the CD either.

As far as I know it will, not totally sure though

If you set your Bios to SATA (IDE) instead of SATA (Raid) XP should detect it natively.

Are you using it a RAID system?

Yeah I'm sure you would only need the drivers if it was being setup in a RAID, even so if you have the driver cd that came with the mobo the drivers will be in a folder on the driver, you will only need the 1 driver out of the few in there which will fit on a floppy.

Any joy from that at all?

Will try that bios tweak.

It's not in RAID configuration.

Cheers.

Only certain chipsets will show sata in xp without a boot driver,mind you my boards nforce3 chipset shows all four of my sata drives at boot and can install to any of them

[McGraw]

It worked. Thanks.
