Where to get drivers?[MOVED]

ajt8 · 08-28-2009, 03:04 PM

I'm trying to slipstream my XP boot disk, and I need a SATA driver for an ASUS K8V SE Deluxe motherboard with an AMD Athlon 64 processor. (I hope that's the necessary info.) I have no idea where to go, or what driver I need. I was at the ASUS site, but couldn't figure out how to navigate it. Either that, or they don't have any drivers. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex.

Put SP2 on there as well.
If I remember correctly the sata drivers are in that pack and you wont need the others.

There's a lot of files on the ASUS site... anybody know which ones I need?

You want the one intended for use with a floppy disc at the "press F6 . . " prompt.

Most newer BIOS allow an Alternate method for SATA . . Go into the bios and check the "Sata Operation" setting,

change it to "Raid Autodetect/ATA if it is not already. Now try to install XP ( could be IDE Mode, Compatibility Mode or Legacy Mode - different BIOS use different terms )

some will say IDE instead of ATA)
