Computer update

[illusionofjoy]

At the suggestion of a friend, I attempted to fool XP Setup into installing by only having one SATA drive hooked up. XP didn't buy it.

I just don't get it. I have the proper drivers, the SATA drives are compatable with my motherboard. The only thing I've yet to try is updating the BIOS, which is next on my list...once I remember how to update the BIOS from a floppy drive.

If that doesn't work, I'm tempted to buy a standard IDE drive to see if Windows is willing to install on that one. If that works, maybe I'll be able to use my two 1TB SATA drives as storage (as such, C: - OS, E: and F: - storage).

The work continues...
