SATA DRIVERS for HP DX5150 MT

12-15-2008 12:54 AM

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the sata drivers for this model.

I am trying to reinstall xp pro but i am promted to install these drivers 'which i do not have' during the setup.

As far as i know i need to install them with a floppy disc at this point.

 

Hardrive is maxtor 6L080M0 80GB

Motherboard is MS-7050 ver 1.3

 

Many thanks for any help

 

Steve

Steve:

 

This worked for me, so it might work for you: I created a slipstreamed XP installation disc using a product called nLite and I wrapped the XP SP3 upgrade into the install.  SP3 (I'm told) has SATA drivers.  Creating the slipstreamed disc is very easy with nLite and it automates a LOT of the OS installation process.

Check in BIOS setup to see if RAID is enabled.If so try changing it to AHCI or IDE.

Hi,

 

they way mentioned by CherylG worked on my dx5150. In detail: I went to F10 BIOS Setup, Integrated Periphals,chosed South OnChip PCI Device, scrolled down to Onboard Chip SATA and choosed IDE Controller instead of RAID Controller. Afterwards my SATA disk was recognized by the Windows XP Pro setup, what it didn't before. There was no extra driver needed.

 

Stefan
