Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Trying to install XP, might need a driver for the hard drive

Hi,

You have an Intel Mobile PM45 chipset
Your Specs are here:
http://www.compal.com/index_En.htm

Select: Products and services
Select: Notebooks
Select: Product specs
Select: Your notebook JHL90 Series

If you do not have the option in your BIOS to disable AHCI you may need this driver (Slipstreamed to your XP disc if you do not have a floppy drive). I do not know the effects if you do change this option seeing you have ubuntu installed already, so you may wish not to check this option.

Intel Matrix Storage: Floppy (F6)

The rest of your drivers are here, but Compal is ONLY supporting VISTA and not XP, so you may have issues with finding ALL the drivers.

Select: Downloads
Select: Drivers
Select: JHL90

Hope this helps.
