Windows Installation - F6 driver installation problem

[amorella]

Hey,

I've got to install sata drivers by pressing F6 during the Windows
2000 installation, but I get this error:
File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected error (1024) at line 1044 in
d:\nt\private\ntos\boot\setup\oemdisk.c When the disk is read.

I have looked far & wide in search of a solution, so far I have
tried the following suggestions:
Brand new floppy disks,
Only inserting the disk,
Up-to-date drivers from the Gigabyte website,
Checking the floppy drive is working correctly,

Also I have tried not using the drivers, windows formats &
installs onto the harddrive but then can't see it when it tries to
boot, the solution to this problem I was told was to install the
drivers.

I looked into slipstreaming the drivers into the installation, but
when I copy my Windows 2000 4-in-1 CD to a harddrive it claims it is
1.5Gig so I can't copy it <i>back</i> to a CD. If someone
could tell me how to get it back on a CD, that's atleast a roundabout
solution...!

I have really tried hard to find the solution to this problem, but no
joy, I've now had my beautiful new puter for nearly a week &
still haven't been able to try it out! Please help me!!

My spec:
AMD64 3500+
GA-8KNXP-SLI
74Gb Raptor
4x512MB PC4000 Ballistix Memory (yes, I know all about the memory
problem, discovered just after ordering Sad )
Geforece 6800 GT

Thanks guys!

Isobel,

Last I checked there are still a whole "slew" of Win2k newsgroups, they deal
with Win2k Pro, Server, Advanced Server and Data Center issues such as
yours. Even though WinXP is built on NT 5.0 technology, NT 5.1 (WinXP) is
slightly different under the hood - oh in case you haven't noticed, this is
a WinXP newsgroup, not a Win2k newsgroup ;-)
