Hello

I am trying to install a dual boot Xp on this pre installed vista machine. I have already partitioned the drive. I cannot get XP to RECOGNIZE the partitioned drive. I believe an XP sata driver is needed and I cannot seem to locate one. Does anyone know of a source or another way around this.

Thank You
Chris
There should be one on the Driver CD that shipped with that machine...
If not visit ECS's site (your MBoard manuf. ) and grab one there.

By the Way Welcome to CH ! !patio,
Thank You for the welcome. I am by no means a pro at this computer stuff. Actually I am a bit lost with trying to get the proper driver. I guess I am not sure exactly which one to pick. I went to the ecs site here http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Downloads/Category_Download.aspx?MenuID=6&LanID=9 and tried to put in the CORRECT info to choose the right motherboard but I can't seem to do it right. I am selecting motherboard and anything with a reference to AMD but cannot seem to get the model MCP61P to show up. I was CONSIDERING submitting a form for tech support but was sure i wouldn't get an answer for the weekend. http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/dlcenter.asp?Tab=My

maybe?
