Shortly after the POST beep, in the status bar at the bottom of the page, there will appear an option to "Press F6 to install sata/raid drivers". You would then insert a floppy with the appropriate drivers (in this case the nvrd32.sys ... ) and load them, and then the installation could proceed as per usual.

Hi

Moved to your own thread.

You will have to tell us some info as in what Windows version you using and the below:

If your PC is one from the likes of DELL, HP, Sony, etc what is the Make and model varient as this will assist us if we need drivers?

If your PC is a home or custom build what is the motherboard make and version?

To find this info you can use the likes of Everest to find this info, at times a summary log of your PC can help, to do this

Install Everest and run
Click Report (top menu) > Report Wizard > Next
Choose System Summary Only > Next
Choose Plain Text > Finish and wait for report to generate
Click Save to File and leave the File Name as Report, then click the Save as Type dropdown and choose Report files (*txt) and click Save (n.b. Save to desktop is best as easy place to find it, use Browse to locate desktop)

Then attach your log to your next post as per these instructions HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post

Hey, thanks for the reply =]

Im running on a:
Dell XPS 625
Windows XP Pro
AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black edition
4GB DDR2 SDRAM
NVIDEA GeForce 260 GTX

and the rest should be in the report.

So my problem is that im trying to reformat my win xp computer, but after it restarts it boots back up into setup mode, is says "The file nvrd32.sys could not be found. Press any key to continue." then i press the key and says "The operation has failed. Press any key to reboot" I tried booting from CD by pressing f12 but after a couple minutes i get the BSOD =[. I tried searching google but to no avail.

Ok I fixed the problem with that missing file, I had to turn off RAID in my bios. But when I launch now I have to choose between windows 7, older version of windows, and windows xp pro setup. I only want windows 7, I want to get rid of those other options.

Oh btw I put windows 7 on instead of xp
