looking on maxtors site, says f6- specified driver - insert driver floppy disk. ok i can plug a floppy drive in, but i have no driver disk!

yeah its called a mesh computers recovery cd-rom w xp home sp2 etc........

SATA is bad news as far as your concerned.
Do you not have a recovery disc as opposed to an xp install disc?

oh thats a problem, i only have a dvd drive!

if your hard disk are connected to a third party adapter then yes you may have to press F6 to install the drivers.

you will need to put the drivers on a floppy disk as windows stupid install won't pick them up from the cd.

is it something to do with pressing f6 or something when starting set-up??

are the hard disk i a form of raid??

i have this problem with a mates laptop, which we had to swap from Raid to ATA configuration in the bios.

re installing windows, when i get to the part where would u like to install, no hard drives are shown??? says <setup cannot access disk>

does anybody know what the problem is??? thanks!
