Computer help: Help with Hitachi HDD - Reformat nightmare
Help with Hitachi HDD - Reformat nightmare
by ArchsageVal - 1/1/09 11:28 PMSo, I had to reformat my computer recently, but stupidly didn't backup my drivers. Now, I get a message when i try to install Windows XP:
"Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver..."
Problem is, I don't have the controller drivers, and this motherboard doesn't have a label!! >< Can anyone guide me though what I need to do to re-install Windows?

Unless this HD is on a RAID configured port of your MB

Some MBs have ports that can be configured as RAID or standard. A trip to your BIOS setup menus should discover this if such is the case. As for drivers. You're going to have trouble if you don't install the MB drivers. You might be able to take a closer look at the board and some of the chips on it for clues. You may have network device, sound device as well as a chipset component. Maybe you can even take a photo (the better the resolution, the better the chance) and post it for viewing as someone here may know something about that board by sight.
