Windows Xp Sata Drivers Download Usb

Posted : admin On 28.12.2020

One of the major problems that has plagued Windows XP is it’s never had the facility to install itself onto some newer hardware without the need for extra steps. Although SATA, AHCI and RAID enabled storage controllers have been around for several years, the Windows XP install CD never gained the ability to install directly onto this hardware, and you need a floppy disk with the necessary drivers for XP to be able to recognize your hard drives during setup. If you don’t use a driver floppy, you will get the dreaded “Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer” error.

Download the latest version of USB SATA Bridge drivers according to your computer's operating system. 2 Ways to Integrate Floppy SATA RAID Driver into Windows XP CD. Download a floppy SATA/RAID driver. You could then install Windows XP from a USB flash drive. Free Download Asrock H55M SATA RAID Driver. - 3 x USB 2.0 headers. Windows XP / Vista / XP 64 bit / Vista 64 bit / 7 / 7 64 bit.

Download a floppy SATA/RAID driver, extract it to floppy disk and then when installing XP, you need to press F6 at the specified time to install the driver. However, most desktop computers and all laptops don’t come with a floppy drive these days, and what makes it worse is you cannot use anything else such as a USB stick to put the drivers on, it MUST be a floppy drive. Although you can use an external USB floppy drive, it would be a waste to buy one just to use it for installing Windows XP. Recently we found a workaround that can enable you to install the SATA drivers from a USB flash drive after pressing F6, but this solution is known to be not 100% working on all computers.

Join / Sign In. Installing windows xp, sata drivers. And tried to slipstream drivers using usb flashdisc made with nlite + rufus. Under these circumstances, no floppy means the impossibility to install Windows XP on SATA (on some mainboards). So, download the drivers and unzip them. Under these circumstances, no floppy means the impossibility to install Windows XP on SATA (on some mainboards). So, download the drivers and unzip them.

In order to get around having to use a floppy drive, you can integrate the floppy SATA/RAID driver into the Windows XP CD yourself. This way, you can install Windows XP on a SATA hard drive without using a floppy drive at all because the driver is already present on the CD. You’ll need to have an XP CD or the source files contained on one stored on your hard drive, the floppy SATA/RAID driver which can be downloaded from the motherboard manufacturer’s website and a CD/DVD writer.

Here are 2 ways to integrate the SATA drivers into your Windows XP CD allowing installation without the need of a floppy drive.

1: Integrate SATA drivers using nLite

This first method uses the update and driver integrating tool nLite to add the drivers to the Windows XP CD. Just about everyone looking to customize their Windows XP install CD has heard of this tool.

1. Download and install nLite.

2. Download the SATA driver from the motherboard or laptop manufacturer’s website and extract it to a new folder. Alternatively, you might be able to download a newer driver from the SATA or RAID chipset manufacturer such as the drivers from the Intel website for their chipsets. Make sure to get a standalone floppy driver if available or a driver package that includes a floppy driver.

3. Run nLite and select the language to use. Next you need to specify where the Windows XP installation files are. If you already have a folder on you hard drive with the XP CD contents, point to that. If not, insert your XP CD and browse to your disc’s drive letter, select a folder location for it to save to and then wait for it to copy. Click Next once done, and Next again to skip the Presets screen.

4. At Task Selection, click Drivers and Bootable ISO. Click Next.

5. Now click the Insert button at the bottom and select “Multiple driver folder”, choose the folder where the extracted drivers are and click OK. If there are multiple choices, select the correct drivers to integrate. For example, do not select 64 bit drivers on a 32 bit Windows XP. Click OK when done selecting the drivers. Click Next.

6. If this next screen doesn’t appear, you don’t have the correct driver. The driver needs to be of a Textmode type and not a PNP type to be included in the XP setup. Make sure Textmode driver is the selected mode and to choose the exact type of hardware chipset in your system. If you’re not sure, check the documentation or the manufacturers website. For our hardware below we want the Intel ICH9R chipset. Select the drivers you require and click OK and then click Next, and finally OK to start the process.

7. Once the integration has completed, click Next to be taken to the ISO creation and burning screen. You can create a bootable ISO to burn to CD later on, or even burn to CD directly using Direct Burn option. To create and save an ISO simply click the Create Image mode option and then Make ISO. With the help of an ISO file, you could then install Windows XP from a USB flash drive.

The next integration method on page 2 is far easier to get working if you can’t find the right floppy SATA/RAID driver because it makes a universal SATA Windows CD.

Hi All, Thanks Ray, The extraction of ‘intel matrix’ was a little typical ( only intel tells/knows that ! ) It gave ‘win all’ > ‘driver’ & ‘driver64’ folders. There were 6-6 files in ‘driver’ & ‘driver64’. I chose ‘driver’ for 32 bit drivers & considered 6 files as F6 drivers & it worked !

Raymond, I see that this tutorial has been here for many years, and I am certain that your advice here has been used many more times than you will ever know. So few people take the time to say thanks.
I’m not one of those people though. This page was a MASSIVE help to me.
I tried a few “fixes” which came to nothing, then I got to here.
Top quality tutorial, and it worked a treat.
Thank you a million times!
Bob

NLite seems to be good. The problem is that I can’t afford to pay out $45+ just so that I can use it for one installation.
There’s got to be an ISO file with the SATA drivers already on it, but every one I’ve downloaded doesn’t.
It’ll be easier to buy a second hand laptop with XP64 already on it.

Where did you get the idea NLite will cost money, it’s always been completely free?

Poster most likely confused NLite with Nuhi’s NTLite, targetted at Windows 7 and up, which had a price tag of $45 at one point (for the Home or Pro version).

Reply

That’s probably right, but if the user follows the link on this page it takes them straight to the nLite website, no need to go anywhere near NTLite.

Thanks Dear,

I was looking for solution to slipstream the drivers.
My laptop HDD is crashed and its not available in the market (2.5″ 40Gb Ide) so I am planning to install Windows OS on Pen drive and I found Nlite solution very useful to add custom made driver’s in to Installation Disk.

I’ve tried to find the drivers for my PC but i couldn’t, then some guy sent me a link to some driver and i used your tutorial to integrate the drivers but windows couldn’t find the hard drive.

I could solve my problems with DriverPackage thanks to your tutorial.
I believe this is the best way to do this…

This was a lifesaver. Saved me lot of headache and pain. It worked flawlessly and I was able to integrate the SATA raid drivers into the xp install CD. What a relief!!!! I am absolutely amazed at the nlite software. It is wonderful free utility. I was almost going to buy a pack of floppy disk and external floppy drive. Saved me money! Excellent demonstration. You should definitely be compensated for saving all of us further headache and pain. I would not mind donating.

Thank you for your instructions.

It helped having clear and concise directions. nLite is pretty simple but it is nice to know what to expect.

Was able to use this method to slipstream ICH10R RAID drivers into Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 using the driver files provided by Supermicro for my X8SAX.

I hope someone else in the same situation finds these directions. I really didn’t want to install a floppy drive in my new server!

Wow, perfect tutorial. Wasted hours to try with a floppy disk, driver would load with F6 in setup, but wouldnt after the XP setup started to copy the files to the hard drive. I integrated the SATA driver with help of your tutorial, voila, worked at the second try, the first try i forgot to REMOVE the floppy disk.
Thanks for the help!

This article helped me tremendously. I had so much difficulties trying to install XP on a Sony Laptop that was purchased with Vista Home Edition and had a SATA hard drive.

Once I integrated the necessary driver and created my own boot CD, everything was a breeze.

Great job.
