Okay...I will try those drivers...and they were SATA drivers...eMachine has no XP drivers for that machine.. I tried to buy a Vista program again and in this little town when 7 came out they wiped Vista off their shelves... There is also an IDE connect on this machine, I tried XP with another Hard drive hooked up to IDE and the same drivers were missing and it would freeze as soon as the welcome screen appeared, If I tried the F8 button it would tell me to install the windows cd and then it just starts reinstalling XP again. I got my XP program from the online school I was attending, it is a licensed copy.
So how would I use the IDE instead of SATA?? Will it work any different?? Do I have to change anything in the BIOS??? There are 3 types of MODE that it can run in...SATA MODE, RAID MODE, and AHCI MODE...
Do I have to take the SATA Hard Drive out if I use the other hard drive??
I need to slow down ...sorry...I will start with the driver site you recommended...
I'll get back to you
