Serial Hard Disk Drivers on a Laptop.

slipd · 6 Mar 2007 at 13:20

Hi guys,

How do I install the required Serial drivers for a laptop’s hard disk during a Windows installation? I have the drivers on a browser-able CD but they don’t read during installation – I think I need to extract them first!

I don’t have a USB/floppy drive?

Any ideas

Cheers,

SW.

It's going to be for a XP installation -

I've tried doing Slipstreamed discs before an they've never worked

Are there any good guides out there you can recommend?

Cheers,

I integrated the Raid driver okay and made the bootable iso, but when I go through the Windows installation, I press F6 to install a drive at the first prompt and hit S to specify, but it still asks for the Floppy drive?

Is there any way to specify another location :confused:

Cheers,

SW.

Right, I’m abandoning that one

I think there may be a component at fault…

I get to the T&C’s, hit F8 and get a BSOD with a Bad_Pool_Caller message.

Any ideas?
