K8V Deluxe SATA XP Install

Sargentwhitey · Jan 12, 2005, 10:47 PM

Now... I do realize this topic has possibly been done to death.. but.. since my 100GB HD which I am currently running XP off of is slowly dieing... I need to act somewhat quickly. I already turned back on the SATA BOOT ROM.. but I need to know how I can get XP install to recognize my Raptor drive to allow an install.. and I can't currently slip stream the drivers because of certain odd reasons with me and burning an XP disc. Also, I'm running the Raptor off of the VT8237 southbridge and I can't quite find stand-alone drivers to put onto a cd (hopefully as I don't think I have any floppies).

Any help will be greatly appreciated

you need to use the f6 option when you install winxp. then you need to insert the driver floppy for the SATA.

that I know.. but I can't find a standalone SATA driver for my southbridge.. all I can find is an EXE for the VIA 4-in-1 drivers..
