Posted by admin in : Computer Tips , trackback

Due to Type Harddisk Notebook currently uses SATA and still many users who choose Operating System Windows XP, while Windows XP itself can not recognize SATA hard disk directly so often the user/customer says is corrupt or the hard drive is not recognized during installation of Windows.

But the actual hard drive is not damaged we only need to install the SATA hard disk drivers at the beginning of the Windows XP installation or you can disable SATA features on the notebok if the BIOS supports.

Here’s how to install a notebook with SATA hard drive type with 2 ways:

I.  “DISABLE” SATA NATIVE SUPPORT

This is done if the “BIOS” in the Notebook/Laptop supports to disable SATA NATIVE SUPPORT, namely in the following way:

  1. Enter the BIOS menu (Press F10 – COMPAQ immediately after the display appears, for Notebook Compaq)
  2. Select Menu System Configuration
  3. Select SATA NATIVE SUPPORT
  4. Change to DISABLE
  5. Save changes and exit the BIOS menu
  6. After restart, do Windows XP installation

II. Installation using “External DiskDrive/Floppy Drive”

If the BIOS on the NoteBook/Laptop is not found in the menu to disable SATA NATIVE SUPPORT (as in step 1 above) then Windows XP installation should be done by using the External Floppy DiskDrive.

In this way you absolutely need a computer equipped with a Floppy Disk Drive and a blank Floppy disk that functions to ekstract SATA driver files. Floppy drives can also be an external USB Floppy Disk Drive.

Do copy / extract the SATA driver files to a floppy disk / diskette.
Then do the installation as usual, when the message “Press F6 to Install a Third Party Driver”, press F6 and when asked the driver, navigate to the External USB Floppy drive. Select the appropriate driver. Then continue with the installation of Windows XP as usual.
