What did you fiddle with?
Is the HDD in the BIOS at all?

Hi all, Wondering if you could help me. I am trying to install windows xp onto a pc that has an Abit NF7 mobo but its not working, the sata drivers are being loaded off of a floppy disk and I think they must be old or something because its not happening. Does anyone know where I can find up to date Sata drivers for this type of mobo. need to get this done before xmas or my little sisters gonna kill me lol. Thanks Kal |

Which version of the NF7 is it? What error are you getting? Can you set the sata controller to IDE mode? |

How do I find out the version? Theres no error it just doesnt work properly, it loads into windows and looks funny and you cant install anything. How can I change it to IDE mode? Is that done in the bios? Thanks Kal |

The version should be on the board (on on the bios splash screen) You can set the sata mode in the BIOS. |

Have you tried a different sata cable, sata port, resetting the CMOS & starting again? |

Failing that try a live linux cd to see if it finds it (or send it to me to fix) |
