need bootable sata drivers

I am trying to run winxp recovery console but it isn't detecting my harddrive. I am using my dell OEM cd but it could be the wrong one because when I hit f6 to specify additional drivers it doesn't work. I have a few dells so maybe its the wrong cd.

So, I just entered my service tag online but I don't know what I'm supposed to download

Re: need bootable sata drivers

Download the drivers for your chipset aka motherboard.  Put them on a floppy or USB drive, insert, reboot your PC.

Google nLite. Use this to make a new CD/ISO based on one of your Dell CDs. You can incorporate the new chipset/sata driver using nLite.

Re: need bootable sata drivers

Service tags aren't allowed on the forum, but since you did it anyway....

The SATA drivers are listed under SATA.    Run this file to extract it, and put the files onto a floppy.

Re: need bootable sata drivers

dev mgr, I can't boot into windows hence the need for recovery console. I'm only able to access the web using a linux live cd.

Thanks, here is my problem, I am using linux and I can't open an EXE. I have downloaded the file on my webserver which I have RDP access too, however it does not have a floppy disk so it wont let me extract the files.
