New build - new install - XP Pro SP2- SATA drive, floppy and OD - wanted to install drives as ACHI - Early in the install pressed F6 and then the install asked for the floppy and loaded - it then loaded other drivers and booted windows (text mode ofr the rest of the install - it then reported "cannot find iastor.sys" the floppy drive lights and it doesn't find the drive. If you bypass the driver you get BSOD, If you don't the install fails.
The SATA drive was set as "Enhanced" and SATA as "ACHI"
Have done a web search and many have reported this problem, but a solution is not found - Anyone have this issue and find a way around. ( Would rather not have to slipstream the driver- I've never done it)- Why does it happen?
Others seem to be able to load ACHI and RAID without difficulty.
P5B Deluxe, 500gb SATA seagate, x1950xt, E6600, NEC SATA OD, floppy
Any help appreciated
