just tried again and same thing.

to be more specific, the error occurs during the "gathering files" phase.

alright..well it says i need to update my SCSI + RAID host controller. ..or something similar. how do i do that?

thanks for the reply!

the drivers and download section is pretty deep...and i really don't quite know what SCSI/RAID host controllers are..and i don't see anything within the drivers and downloads section that says SCSI/RAID, so i don't know what to download. a little more specific please?

5. From the Device Manager, look for an entry named
'SCSI and RAID Controllers'.
If this entry is present, expand it and look for one of
the following controllers:

- 'Intel(R) 82801HR/HH/HO SATA RAID Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH8R system in RAID mode and no further action
is required

- 'Intel(R) 631xESB/632xESB SATA RAID Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ESB2 system in RAID mode and no further action
is required

- 'Intel(R) 82801GHM SATA RAID Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH7MR system in RAID mode and no further action
is required

- 'Intel(R) 82801GR SATA RAID Controller'
If the Controller above is present, the system is
an ICH7R system in RAID mode and no further action
is required.

- 'Intel(R) 82801GH SATA RAID Controller'
If the Controller above is present, the system is
an ICH7DH system in RAID mode and no further action
is required.

- 'Intel(R) 82801FR SATA RAID Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH6R system in RAID mode and no further action
is required.

- If neither of the controllers above are shown,
then the system is not running in RAID mode and
you should continue with step 6 below.




mine only says:

SCSI/RAID Host Controller

no serial numbers or anything...so i continue?


i find both of these:


- 'Intel(R) 82801GR SATA AHCI Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH7R system in AHCI mode and no further action
is required.

- 'Intel(R) 82801GH SATA AHCI Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH7DH system in AHCI mode and no further action
is required.



i don't really know what that means, but i'm taking no further action..


i read on to find that i should do the F6 method you said earlier...but my problem is that i have no floppy drive..........

please advise

thanks a million, man!

i'm following the instructions in the readme.txt

after that, i try to install again?

under the Serial ATA section? I don't really know which drivers you're talking about.

i just don't know what i'm looking for.

i've got a terabyte..

i don't really know what i'm talking about, i'm just repeating things the computer is telling me.
