• Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

  I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

  The answers will be appreciated...

  Thank you

  Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

• [SOLVED] Problem - cannot install Windows XP on C dive - only option is the D drive.

  Hello

  I'm doing a clean install of windows xp pro on a hard disk with unallocated space at the front of the drive and a primary partition containing the data at the end of the training.

  I want to install windows xp pro on a primary partition on the front of the disk on drive C.

  Here's my problem:

  When I was installing windows xp pro, I noticed that when I created a partition in the unallocated space at the front of the car where I wanted to install windows xp pro, that I couldn't C as a drive letter for the installation drive - d only.

  I ran the installation at the end and Yes, windows xp pro did install on drive D - this isn't what I want - I want it on the C drive.

  Can someone tell me how I can solve this installation problem.

  Should I run a partition boot CD and set up a primary partition on the front of the drive before installing windows xp pro?

  Thank you very much.

  I solved this problem by following these steps:

  1. I installed a second hard drive (old sata drive).

  2. I installed windows xp on the second hard drive.

  3. I photographed the windows xp install from the second disc on the first hard drive.

  4. I deleted the second disc.

  5. I've rehearsed with my other computers.

  Everything works fine - just takes a little longer than expected.
