I have a strange situation on one of our computers where I have to uninstall
Vista
and reinstall XP (gasp!) I know how to do that on most machines but
when I try to install XP on the SATA drive, it tells me there's no disk
present.
I tried booting Vista 64 and deleting both partitions that way which worked;
at least Vista says the entire drive is unallocated space. When I try to
install
XP, however, it says there's no disk present so I can't partition and format
the drive. I tried the MS KB and Google but no luck in this situation. If
it matters,
the machine is using an Intel DG965WH motherboard and a Samsung 500 GB
SATA hard drive. Thanks for any help you might be able to give.
