I am trying to install windows xp home on my computer, with 2 250gb sata harddrives. I have the drivers, i made a disk to install them from during setup. the disk is setup correctly with all the files in the root directory.
windows setup asks me to hit f6 first thing, but pressing the key doesnt do anything. I let it load stuff for a minute then it tells me there is no mass storage device, i hit s and it asks me to insert the disk. I do, press enter and nothing happens. it just asks for the manufactureres disk again...
i enabled sata and the drived in the bios.
i am at a loss, i did everything correctly as far as i can tell. please help

Try different SATA ports.

Your shouldnt need sata drivers while installing xp...unless you have the drives in a raid array

i had this exact same problem just a week ago, theres a thread on it around somewhere, but i tryed everything as well and nothing worked. i eventually used it as an excuse to buy a whole new system.
I dont have any experience with asus customer service but abit was pretty good about it, they said they would send me a new manufacturers disk. so u can try doing that and see if theyll do that for you
