That should get you up and running-might need a few misc drivers after install but those should get you through the install.

if you need the sata drivers for F6 during text mode setup youll find them at C:\NVIDIA\nForceWin2KXP\14.10\IDE\WinXP\sataraid or C:\NVIDIA\nForceWin2KXP\14.10\IDE\WinXP\sata_ide after you extract you chipset drivers.

Thx.

I thought i figured it out.
I integrated the drivers for nForce 560. And it worked, it could see my harddrive.
But i was wrong sad.gif
When i installed it, and it was ready to run (Windows xp), under windows boot screen BSOD came and it restarted. sad.gif
Cannot even start in Safemode

Gonna try with your chipset
Do you think it will work?
These are the drivers burning now:


Last cd, sad.gif Then i need to open a new pack - Spend 10+ cds on testing ^^
xabdullahx
Nope, same problem sad.gif Bsod and restart. I dont have any recovery cd sad.gif
