Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo E // XP installation

[callebalik]

Hi,

Recently bought a Scaleo-E since the the form factor and the RGB Scart output made me curious. Computer is working great but would like to start fresh by reinstalling OS. Currently it's running XP MCE 2005 but would prefer a slimmed XP Pro. Having a hard time finding correct drivers for the hdd. I have even used "Double Driver" to collect all currently installed drivers and slipstreamed them into an XP MCE 2005 iso using nLite. Even tried other install media (XP Pro SP2) with lots of SATA/ACHI/RAID/IDE drivers. Still the installation can't find any drives. Also unable to find options in the bios to change how HDDs are presented. Windows 7 installation can see the drives but won't let me install to the volume as it says the volume is not bootable...

Anyone that has had similar problems? Anyone sitting on the actual Scaleo E install/recovery media???

Thanks in advance,
// C

Sorry I can't help but what an interesting looking machine. Looks more like a DVD player than a PC

It is old enough you might need to set the master and slave jumpers on the HDD(s) to properly boot. I assume the drive(s) can be seen in the BIOS and boot order is set correctly, etc. ?
