Here's the situation. It's a new laptop that came with no software, and I wanted to install XP on it. But alas, XP thinks there is no HDD, so it can't install. As I was kindly told on IRC earlier, XP and SATA don't mix well, so I read around on the Internet and concluded that I need SATA driver(s).
(I did read about how to install it without a floppy drive etc, so that's not an issue.)
My real problem is, I don't really know what kinda driver I need. The HDD is, according to BIOS, a Samsung HM250JI. And as for any information about the chipset, the only thing I could find out was that it's "Intel 965PM chip". The latter piece of info led me to
here, and now I'm wondering, are those okay?
I did email the customer service of my computer shop with this as well, but I don't expect a very useful reply, so I really hope you guys can help me. ;(
