I have a strange computer senario and maybe someone can shed some light on my demlmia.
I have a Gateway Laptop in which I bought a SATA Hard Drive, and an external casing. Using USB 2.0 I was able to install windows XP and boot off of this harddrive (had to alter XP a bit) and it runs much faster than the hard drive that came with the laptop. However I wanted to push the SATA to it's maximum and bought a SATA PCI BUS Card.
On the old harddrive it will detect the PCI Bus and harddrive and read it normally. However I cannot use the old boot config to boot windows (it does not detect the SATA).
So now I need to reinstall windows with the SATA config, however when in the windows setup (Press F6 to install SCSI/RAID drivers) windows only looks for a floppy drive which my laptop does not have. Any suggestions?
