Im tryng to install XP at my aunts PC .. but XP Setup doesnt detect my HDD
the hdd is: Seagate ST380811
i googled it and i know that i have to press "F6" and put in a scsci raid driver disk .. so xp setup can detect the HDD
~but ! the PC doesnt have a floppy ... and i dont have some disk .. :/
so what can i do ? i heard i can put that drivers into the XP Disk using nLite .. but i have no clue how to do it ... and which drivers to dld
so help me pls

you need to intergrate scsi+sata drivers into your windows xp cd,
an easy way of doing this is via nlite.

That, you have to find out yourself buddy, check your chipset. find out the mass storage controller.
sometimes this information can be on the motherboard manufacturers website.
