Help With Windows Reinstall

Dread_2004 · Mar 21, 2006

Hey

I think I need to reinstall windows, won't do any harm anyway but when I try to reinstall it comes up saying 'cannot detect a hard drive'. I am told I need sata drivers on a floppy disk but i cant find any sata drivers small enough to fit on a floppy. wondered if you guys had any ideas. I only have one CDrom drive so the drivers have to go on a floppy.

TIA

yep try this get the full SATA/RAID driver package from ASUS for your mobo and in convienently has in the DriverDisk folder a "Make Disk" util which will extract the drivers you need and fit them on a floppy.

if you wish to check the downloads go here http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us and enter your mobo model into the search box.
