heyy.. i have an HP G62 361TX laptop. My hard disk got damaged. So, i replaced it with seagate 500gb. the old one was 250gb. i cant install xp.. i think its a sata raid driver problem. am i right?
icant install ubuntu or windows 7 either. ubuntu gives error5 and windows 7 stops at extraction process..

PLEASE HELP.. THANKS IN ADVANCE..

Thanks a lot for your help, i'll reply you after I try it. :)

EDIT:
Just another question just to be sure.
When the windows pops up I just have to highlight that option you say or EVERYTHING? In some tutos I see they highlight everything, but i'm not sure, thanks. Does it matter if I highlight everything?

EDIT2:

Well I just created my bootable USB and it seems to work, at least the XP installer have detected my disk, so thanks a lot for your help Fernando, if i'm having any problem (I hope no) i'll reply again, but the main problem (the "undetected" disk) has been solved, thanks one more time for your time and your replies. Cheers.

thnx...

sir, how can i know
a) with which sort of SATA Controller your new Seagate HDD is connected and
b) with which SATA mode (IDE/AHCI/RAID) the Controller is running.

Hi,

the SATA mode you can check inside the BIOS and for your chipset it's HM55 and the hardware id can be checked under running os inside the device manager

Hi Fernando and thak you for your nice tips, but I can't figure out from an old server installation.
This is my situation:
I have an old IBM xseries X266 server system that have 2 scsi failed disks.. I don't want to use scsi disks anymore cause are very expensive, so I tried to create a raid 1 with the 2 two embedded sata ports on my motherboard. From my bios information raid 0 is optimal, bootable and in first startup postion. I could not find any detailed specs about chipsets, so I tried to integrate the provided official online drivers with nlite on my windows server 2003 cd with no results, raid is not showed under installation but if I change in my bios from RAID to SATA I can see my two disk during the installation, but is very important form me to make a raid 1 system. So I searched directly on the fisical motherboard to locate what is the right chipset, and I found that this motherboard have 2 different chipset for scsi(adaptec ultra320) and for SATA/IDE/RAID(82801ER ich5r) so I tried to integrate a lot of sata/raid intel package but I can see my raid during installation.. and now I found your how to.. can you pls tell me what is the right link from the ones listed in your guide? I cannot locate 82801ER ich5r.. pls give some tips.. thank you

thank you I will try this and post results

Ok Fernando your attachment seems to be the correct driver cause I can see exactly the name of my sata chip in the list of text mode available drivers during nlite configuration.. problem is that I tried to burn several iso of windows server 2003 SP2 or windows XP SP3 but I have the current problem, after windows is loading drivers the system will be normaly show me a black screen and then show the accept contract of windows , but instead the screen remains black and I can't continue with the installation... maybe is there a different way to integrate such old drivers? I can't use directly floppy disk cause I don't I have a working floppy box... I have already managed with nlite several times, this is not my first attempt but I never see this black screen problem in my experience.. any tips? I just mounted a virtual floppy and run the intel wizard in your attachment, in nlite I selected the inf file from my virtual floppy and proceded as usualy :(

you mean the second one in this link https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_...2801er&lang=ita ??

Hi Fernando, it's me again, having some problems and hoping you can help me one more time, i'm not sure if it has something to do with this subject, you'll tell me, but after I created my ISO file integrating the SATA drivers you told me, I could install XP in one of my netbooks, now I want to use the same ISO file to install in another netbook and it detects my hard disk, it starts to install everything but after the first boot it says hl.dll is missing, I used 3 different hard disks now and I get this message in all of them except the original hard disk where I installed XP at the first time when you helped me. So there is no problem when I use the hard disk where I instelled XP for the first time, but when I try in the other 3 hard diks, I keep getting this hl.dll message, I tried googling it of course and many options but nothing seems to work, would you tell me if it has something to do with the installer? Something is missing? why do I get this error message only using other hard disks but not in the first one where I could, by the way I reinstalled XP in the first hard disk just to check no hl.dll will appear and it didn't, it works on my first hard disk. And they 3 seems to be the same, when I go to Hardward ID the 4 hard disks say the same thing, hope you can help me or tell me what could be the problem so I can keep searching, thanks one more time for your help :)
