Install Vista on Sata HDD
I heard that Vista RC2 can't recognize Sata HDD if it is installed when
starts system from DVD-Rom. So how about RTM versin? And I can't find the drivers for Vista for my Creative Webcam Live and Samsung SCX-4100 printer. Someone said I may use those drivers for Winxp 64bit, but others said it might cause "blue screen". I wonder which one is true? What can I do? Thanks. |

Has nothing to do with SATA, it depends on the motherboard chipset and the
IDE controller. This is nothing new, XP and 2000 are the same way, you may need to provide a driver during installation. wrote in message ...

Install Vista on Sata HDD
1. You need to install the SATA drivers before you continue with
installing the operating system. Press F6 when told to do so. Have them available of a floppy disk, USB drive or CD to continue. 2. Try them. See if it works. Somebody has to be first! Then report back here to tell others of your experience. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew! wrote in message ...

You CANNOT install"SATA"DRIVERS if they areNOT for vista.
I never "installed""SATA"drivers. I had NO problem with RC1/RC2, both had built in "sata"drivers. "Richard Urban" wrote in message ... 1.

I am using the WinXP SATA drivers from Asus to install Vista on my A7N8X2.0 Deluxe. They work fine. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew! |

Install Vista on Sata HDD
Whether you need SATA drivers or not depends on your
specific MB and the BIOS. The Asus A8V requires RAID drivers regardless of whether you configure a RAID or not because the BIOS does not have a 'SATA' option. The MSI K8T800Pro does not need a RAID driver if you set the option to 'SATA' in the BIOS. If you have a RAID configured. or if you just have the BIOS set to 'RAID' then you must have RAID drivers. So, it is not a black and white situation. Some systems need the system peculiar RAID drivers to install XP or Vista, and some don't.
