Re: Vista cant find hard drives.

Have a look at this guide from another of our staff members, it will detail how to make a correct floppy.

2. Make IAAR floppy.
Create a floppy containing portions of the IAAR for use later. This is discussed in Section 4.2 of the Intel IAAR README file. The procedure is detailed here:

2.1. Create a target folder (eg. F:\Pc\IAAR\Files) to hold extracted files.

2.2. Choose Start Menu- Run.

2.3. In the "Open:" window type
F:\Pc\IAAR\Disk1\Setup.exe -A -P F:\Pc\IAAR\Files

where F:\Pc\IAAR\Disk1 is where you extracted the downloaded IAAR content in Step 1.2. Note there is a blank on both sides of -A and also -P.
This is discussed in Section 6 of the Intel IAAR Readme File.

2.4. Click OK. Setup runs. Note that you are only extracting files at this point, not actually installing the IAAR as a driver.

2.5. Click Yes to accept the Intel licensing agreement.

2.6. A bar graph briefly appears, goes up to 100%, then disappears. The operation is complete.

2.7. Check the target folder (eg. F:\Pc\IAAR\Files) to be sure new subfolders now exist there.

2.8. Insert a formatted floppy into your floppy drive.

2.9. Open the "F:\Pc\IAAR\Files\Driver" subfolder and copy the following 4 files into the root folder of the floppy:

iastor.cat, iastor,inf, iastor.sys, txtsetup.oem

2.10. Eject and label the floppy "IAAR boot files" for later use.


You can get the drivers from here
