Install AMD SATA drivers on XP guest on Win 7 64 bit host?

Post by Barry123 »

I've seen posts to install SATA drivers on the guest but didnot find reference to AMD drivers. Since my host is 64 bit and running Windows 7, the manufacturer (HP) says there are no SATA drivers for XP. AMD doesn't seem to list drivers. This forum talks about Intel drivers. Am I missing something? :)

AMD drivers in a VM? I'm sorry, but did you take a look at the controller options and the brand they are in the VM settings? Did you check the VirtualBox FAQ to see what hardware is exposed to the VM?
