installing windows xp home on nf7-s

[bdyeager]

ok its been a really long time but i need to reinstall windows on my first sata hd and leave the second sata hd alone and i dont want to run any raid.
when i boot to the windows cd to reinstall it doesnt see the sata hds and it wants me to install a disk for the drivers for the sata hd but i only have a cd. i know im having a massive brain fart right now so can anyone please point me in the right direction.

For Windows XP you must set your SATA Hard-drives to SATA-150.

Windows XP is such an old system that it doesn't know what in the world is a SATA-drive. You need a disc with sata drivers, but that's all I can tell.

You'll need to either have drivers on a floppy disk, or create your own "slipstream" Win XP install DVD that includes the drivers. Check out nlite - it worked well for me.
