Solve : How do i get vista off my sata drive?? |
|
Answer» I have an Acer Aspire 5315-2290 Laptop with the following specs.: Not true I have a gaming pc that uses such drives an have xp installed on to it. what you probably need to do is disconnect an reconnect the drives. Not sure if this is a reference to my post or not; I'm not referring to SATA drivers, but, rather, chipset drivers, onboard video drivers, LAN drivers, etc. I am assuming from the original post that he wants to replace the Vista OS with XP, often XP drivers are not AVAILABLE for Vista pre-loaded machines.

This makes no sense whatsoever.Tangfirmer...very early on in the setup process you will see a message at the bottom of the screen saying "Press F6 to install RAID/SATA drivers" do so and then insert the laptops Driver CD and hit Enter.If there a laptop drives yes, however I was meaning desktop. They dont pay me enough to do this stuff. Quote from: squall_01 on July 04, 2008, 08:39:30 AM If there a laptop drives yes, however I was meaning desktop. Irrelevant. |
