SATA driver for a ST980811AS

I've been trying to Install XP on my laptop, it doesn't pick up the Hard disc as it is a SATA HDD.

I'm guessing I need drivers, where can I find these ?

Thanks in Advance.

How did you sort it?

Disabled native SATA in the BIOS.

Getting all the drivers took me a long time after though, I don't know... You pay £500 for a super laptop and what do you get.... No DRIVERS !!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

Were you installing with XP initial release or XP SP2? SP2 should pickup drives.
