XP Setup won't find disc?
I'm trying to reinstall XP after having a few problems which resulted in me having to format the drive. I created an active partition with Super Fdisk with Fat 32 partition. However when I try to run the XP Installer I get a message that XP does not find the disk. What can I do?
Thank you
Tony
Delete the partition that you created and then boot from the XP installation disk to use XP built in partition and formatting features.

Satellite A200 PSAE3: XP Setup can't find HARD disk drives
Hello
I have laptop Satellite A200 PSAE3 and editing Vista Home premium 32-bit installed.
I want to fix it to dual boot with Windows XP.
But when I go to install XP, it says "SETUP has NOT FIND ALL DRIVES HARD INSTALLED in YOUR COMPUTER".Please let me know what are the possible solutions to overcome this problem.
Thank you
Armelle
This problem can be solved very easily install the right driver SATA ;)
Yes, you must install a SATA driver to recognize the SATA HDD!
I did, is that your Win XP doesn't do not contains the latest SATA drivers that are necessary and important install the Windows operating system.
The Intel Matrix Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers for two different chipsets.
Visit the European driver from Toshiba or Intel page and download the Storage Manager!You will need an external USB FDD drive to include this SATA driver in the installation of Win XP.
Maybe you remember that Setup during the installation process of Win XP Win XP request by pressing the F6 key to install a 3rd party SATA drivers.
You must connect the external floppy drive, and then you could install such SATA driver.But perhaps the problem is the USB FDD drive.
To be honest I n t have such external floppy drive unit and so I had to include the SATA driver using another solution.I used the * program nLite. It s for free and may be required from the internet. Google simply.
You can use this application to create a new XP CD with SATA driver. Then you could start from this new CD to install XP on your machine.I did and I managed
Bye and have a nice day buddy ;)

Setup did not find any hard disk installed
I'm trying to re-start Windows XP on a disk (file missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe). Whenever I press the 'R' to repair key I get this error message:
Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3
Someone at - it ideas?
Hello
It is perhaps that the hard drive is not connected properly. Make a person qualified to check the connections of the hard drive to make sure they are solid, you need to maybe disconnect and reconnect both ends of the cable.
I suggest you return the article mentioned below to learn how to fix ntoskrnl.exe.

Install XP: Setup did not find any hard disk installed
I have this old computer. When I try to install Windows Xp, it says that Setup did not find any hard disk. I have readers of diskette and cd on the computer. A source told me that I need a SATA RAID driver until I do.

AMIBIOS
MSICorrect, you will need to download the appropriate TXTmode drivers and put them on a floppy disk. If you have a MSI motherboard in your system, you will get these drivers from MSI.
It would be also possible to get Windows to load with a change in your BIOS settings, but I recommend that get you the correct drivers.

OK, so I just had to re - install Windows 7 on my laptop due to a disk failure (Windows 7 Home Premium SP1) and hit a brick wall with trying to turn on Microsoft Updates instead of Windows updates.
I try to click on the link "Learn more" on the bottom of the page to update on the line "Get updates for other products Microsoft." and it opens just a web page with a graphic telling me to open my Start menu and click on Windows updates.
Catch 22 is that Windows Update has no options for anything other than Windows. He won't find the updates for the office or any of the other Microsoft programs I installed and there is no option to enable it in Windows Update settings.
Exactly what I am missing, and where has Microsoft moved the activation of Microsoft Updates page too, because when I click on the link need me to http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/thanks.aspx?ln=en&&thankspage=5 that makes a whole lot of nothing.
Thank you!

You might look into this it's the new way to update after a clean install.
It is expected by M$, we must now jump through hoops to clean install.
It comes in a way most old but still works just check out some of the last comments for new KB # install manually to the contrary in this order

Convert 1231G to LWAP, won't find controller
I have a self-contained unit of G 1231 and a 4404 wireless controller, both are on the same subnet, the controller is in mode layer 2 and has strictly necessary set up right now. I converted the 1231 G to LWAPP, which was a success. But the LWAP won't find the controller - it keeps trying to find, but never does. I have not put in place yet so impossible WCS to import the results of the configuration of the upgrade tool. Any ideas?
Converts APs cannot do Layer 3. You need to change the controller in Layer 3 mode and let us know if it works.

Setup did not find any hard drives installed in my computer
HI -.
I own a laptop Presario X1015US and recently bought a new hard drive for her (Western Digital Scorpio Blue PATA 160 GB) but when I insert the operating system CD it goes through the entire process until it gets to a page where it says:
Family Windows XP Setup
Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer.
Make sure that the hard disks are turned on and properly connectd to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running.
Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.
I'm not sure of what I am doing wrong and hope someone can help me. For example -.
-J' checked the Bios and I do not see where the drive sits - have I missed something?
-The drive I bought compatible for this model - electronic Fry told me that it is.
Thank you
Charles
If the bios does not see it, installing XP will ever either.
Some older laptops have a problem with the largest hard disks (more), I return the drive and see if they have a 120 GB model.
Can also be that you just got a bad.

Qosmio G30 - Setup can't find any HARD drive
I can't change windows MSE for vista on my G30 set up can not find any hard disk installed on it, but with toshiba drive reanimator it works! can anyone help?
If I understand you right you use a disc of Microsoft to install Vista.
Have you heard of driver SATA? You will need this driver otherwise that your HARD drive will not be recognized.
Download drivers (as far as I know the Intel Storage Manager) and load it after booting from the CD or use you nLite.In the forum are already a lot of thread on this Yes please read a little.
