SATA third party drivers for SATA

[J_Tweedy]

I have a Western Digital Caviar wd1200jd SATA hard drive, and am going to be formatting my computer shortly. I remember when i first got the computer i had troubles getting windos xp to recognise the drive, and had to use a third party driver on a floppy to get it to work. Im wondering where i can get this driver from? I no longer have the floppy i first used.

go to the manufaturers website and look for drivers.

Also have a look on the cd that you got with your mobo, they will have the drivers on there, or utilities that create the files for floppy discs that you can use to install the drivers for the the sata drive during the winxp installation. I had the same problem when I went to install winxp on my seagate drive, but it was sorted by drivers on teh Asus cd. Hope this helps.
