Where is the SATA-driver for WinXP or how to install WinXP?

Post by iNsuRRecTiON »

Hi there,

I have a question to the developers.

Where is the SATA-driver for WinXP (both textmode and plug and play).
Virtualbox offers SATA, but there is no driver for it. :?:

How can I install WinXP with SATA enabled for the HDD..???

Thanks in advance!

best regards,

Or, download the floppy tool, extract it with WinRAR or similar program until you have an .ima file, load that as a floppy and hit F6 for SCSI drivers. You can then install Windows directly on the SATA port. Or use nLite to integrate it directly.
