[SOLVED] Laptop SATA Disk

I recently reformated my hard disk on my Fujitsu Siemans Laptop. However when I went in to re-install windows the Pc kept stating that it could not detect the hard disk, saying it was not present. I have tried everything. It is SATA and I know that makes a difference. Any help to get this back and running. Cheers

Re: Laptop SATA Disk

What's the model? Also, if you have recovery CD you should use that.

Re: Laptop SATA Disk

Yup you may need the restore/recovery CD from Fujitsu. These can be ordered from Fujitsu website, I think.

Another way is to slipstream the SATA drivers with your XP installation CD. This way you need not load your SATA drivers separately.

Re: Laptop SATA Disk

I worked this one out in the end, with the fujitsu pi1505, it's does not have a sata drive controller within the bios, so you have to add it first. Which I did with nlite. Works a treat. Thanks anyway though. This can be closed nnow as I solved it cheers
