Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. When I try to install Windows XP it will not detect my hard drive which is visible in the bios. My bios options are very limited, however i was able to use the bios to change the sata to ide. I have a floppy and am still getting a "no hard drives found" after installing the sata drivers from it.

I can't figure this out and it is killing me. The cmos recognizes the drives on boot. Windows XP even tells me that the drivers it has are newer than those I have and I even tried loading those but still have the same problem.

It might be a different option for you as I don't have a dell. Please note that I don't have a floppy and I didn't have to download any drivers.

I hope this is easier for you. Otherwise, you could pull the drive and plug it directly into your main machine and copy over the driver to another partition and then select that partition as the source of the driver. The primitive Samsung website had universal solutions which did not help.
