Fresh Windows XP install
Good day all!
I'm trying to install a fresh copy (not the one that came with my XPS 400) of Windows XP. During installation at the point when you are to select the drive you want the install to use, Windows Setup can not find the SATA drive that is installed.
I found an article regarding this issuse and it said I should hit F6 If I need to install a third party SCSI or Raid Driver. and insert the floppy disk with the correct controller driver.
My questions are:
What do I do if I don't have a floppy?
Where can I find the correct controller drivers for the Windows XP setup?
I have a XPS 400 and it was purchased on Jan 2006.
Please, any info at at would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx

This is for the earlier XPS and 8400 , but it should help you.- Who has a floppy? I do. They may be old technology but they sure do come in handy from time to time. Although, the USB memory keys are handy also.Until all of the software manufacturers can catch up everyone else, I will keep a floppy drive around.Just my thought.
