i tried to install windows xp on my sata hard drive. i did the F6 thing at the begining of the install but the files i copied wernt recognized by windows xp setup. i copied three files, a secutrity catalog, a system file, and a setup information file. the setup asked for an oem file or something like that. Anyway, i was wondering what files i need to copy to my floppy disk in order to install the drivers for my hard drive.
Thanx in advance for any help.

it will be under the "ide" section listed as:

put that on a floppy and boot up under F6. specify for the xp driver and you should be good to go.
