Scsi drivers for windows XP PRO

Guest

I am currently running XP home. I have three scsi harddrives. when I try to
load XP PRO, it doesn't recognize any hard drives. How can if fure out which
scsi drivers to copy onto a floppy disk? If I look on the propertie panel
for each scsi harddrive, I see a driver PROVIDER/DATE/VERSION/PROVIDER.
Should this be of any help? Please advise.

Odd that an upgrade in place from XP Home to XP Pro would give you an error
like this. How are you trying to load XP Pro anyway?
That said, if you were doing a clean install instead of an upgrade, get the
SCSI driver from the hardware manufacturer's website and put it on a
floppy - you need to press F6 during setup to prompt for a driver.

SCSI and SATA drives require drivers that are from the manufacturer of your
SCSI controller (not the drives themselves). You can probably locate this
information in Device Manager. A visit to their website should reveal the
drivers.
