My friend has a laptop. When he boots of his xp disc, xp tells him that it can't find a HDD. I've googled this problem, and most sites are telling me that XP loader does not carry SATA drivers. That's why he's running into this problem.
Now, I look at my own computer. I have installed xp on two seperate SATA HDD fine. No problems whatsoever. The difference is that I did it on a desktop, while he's trying to do it on a laptop. I can't see how that would change things.
Any advice? I've read about the floppy route, and he says he's tried the slipstream route. The only thing left is for me to manually fiddle with it.
