Hi Guys
I am just building a PC and have come up with a problem I have never seen before. After beginning an install of Windows XP, I press F6 as I have a 300Gb SATA Seagate so need to install the SATA drivers. However, it gets so far and I get the message:
"Section Files.SCSI.iaStor of the INF file is invalid"
Occassionally it doesn't come up and the Windows install gets as far as saying it cannot detect any hard drives, so I just have to reboot.
I am using an Abit AV8 Mobo and the parts are almost identical to a PC I built myself over a year ago now. I never came across this problem before!
I have tried two different copies of XP (Home and Prof.) as well as my old SATA driver floppy disk which is a different version to the latest. Nothing is working.
I have tried searching on here for a similar problem to no avail, and Google only threw up a couple of replies, none of which helped.
Please help before I start pulling my hair out!!
Thanks
Marco
