First of all I know that the question as it is has been answered many many times and trust me I have read every thread I found, but I have a different problem.
First of I should give my pc's specifications so we are on the same page.
Motherboard: MSI MS-7113 649 Neo-V
CPU: Intel Pentium 4
RAM: 1 stick of 512 MB DDR
GPU: nVidia 6200LE
HDD: Seagate Baracuda 7200 500 GB
If you need anything else tell me.
Now to the problem. As the title says I'm trying to install Windows XP but after all the files are loaded and when it comes to the point to select where should it be installed, the installation tells me that no HDD where found.
I have come across the same problem one more time to another PC so I knew that I had to slipstream the sata drivers, given by the manufacturer's site, to a new ISO with nLite and then create a new installation disc. But the problem is that the driver doesn't do any good. Still no HDD found. The driver I slipstreamed is found here and is the "SiS SATA RAID Driver (For floppy driver)" driver.
I have read about 10 threads about the slipstraming process and I have followed the steps exactly, plus I have done it before so I knew what to do. But in vain. I went through the process two more times, one of them with a completely different installation disk but still same result. So I came to think that something might be wrong with the driver or I don't know what else.
I then moved the hard drive to my own machine and installed Windows XP with no problem but when I moved it back every time it boots from the HDD shows some strange characters and stops.
I should also say that there is no floppy drive so there has to be some other way. I'm open to comments and, thanks for any help given.
