SATA HARD DRIVE - XP INSTALLATION
The problem is that XP installation CD does not have a SATA driver, unless you have a SATA drive on a disk etc. and can install the driver when XP asks for a hard drive driver then, XP cannot detect the hard disk and therefore won't install XP. The FIX. Go into the BIOS and disable the SATA drive (enable IDE emulation), this will make XP think it is a IDE/PATA hard disk. Then you can install XP normally. When Windows has been installed then install all the device drivers (including the SATA driver), then shut down and boot up and got into the BIOS and enable the SATA drive.

I chenge my windows from xp to 7 now my volume & internet dosent work and I haven't orginal CD how I can do?
Having had a look around, MPC don't seem to have Win7 drivers available on their web sites.

This site does however list the XP drivers and the modules they're designed for.

I changed a hard drive with xp home edition installed to a nother laptop windows dosent start in normal mode just in safe mode
Hi

Thank you for your query

When transferring a hard drive from laptop to another, it is wrong to assume that Windows will automatically work, as both laptops are different windows will not laod up on the other laptop

You will need to reinstall a fresh copy of windows on the hard drive in order for it to work on the other laptop

I hope this has been useful
