Hello. I've recently bought a refurbished SATA HDD 3.0Gb/s from the local store for a good price and decided to give my 12-year-old rig another life(which has been sitting in my room for years ever since its hard drive failure).
My BIOS reads the hard drive that it's there but Windows installation just does not. I've tried all Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 10 but still get the same results. People say change the SATA mode to AHCI or IDE but I just can't find the option to do any of those in my BIOS as I've looked everywhere. The nLite slip streaming didn't actually go smooth(probably I wasn't doing properly).
I'm pretty sure this is about the SATA Drivers but how would I go about fixing it? Can anyone kindly help me with the step by step guidelines please? I'm stuck here for a week searching through the forums xD Thanks in advance and my apologies for my noobness.
Here's the spec:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
MOBO: ASUS K8U-X Socket 754 M1689
GPU: MSI Radeon 9550 DirectX 9 RX9550-TD256 256MB 128-Bit DDR AGP 4X/8X
RAM: 1Gb (2x512Mb) PC2700
HDD: HGST Deskstar 160Gb 7200RPM SATA II 3Gb/s
BIOS: AMI BIOS v02.53 0604
I have DVD drive but not Floppy drive
