    Guys I need a little help with a job.  I have a tech friend that has a gateway laptop that has vista on it an wants to put xp in place of it.  It has a intel celeron m inside of it.  The thing is it says that it cant see the drive an he installed a driver for it so that xp could be put on it but the same issue still comes up.

          Keep on bumping, squall, and maybe in about 6 months somebody will come along and ask "have you got the SATA drivers on a floppy"?

              Dont think so.  Ummmm  he thought apperntly that when the install ran that it would detect it.  So I think I read that you had to make it into a bootable disk an install it like that but it didnt seem to work for them.
