Need drivers my hard drive crashed and i can't find the driver disk

This model Toshiba laptop has a SATA hard drive.

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. http://www.fixya.com/support/r4335035-installing_windows_xp_sata_hard_drive

Right-click on "My Computer" & select MANAGE.Double-click on Device Manager in the left-hand pane.Click the + beside Disk drives.
Double-click on your hard drive icon in the list.
Click on the Policies tab.
Ensure "Optimize for performance" is selected as well as 'Enable write caching on the disk".
Click OK.
You can also update the driver for your hard drive, that may help.
Close all and reboot.

Hi Naresh,

Please remember to backup your drivers from the original driver CD onto your hard disk/Cd/Pen Drive , or specially a separate partition on your hard disk so that you can install them later, in case of any crash.

For now you can download the drivers from this link :- http://bit.ly/mUHx0w

Hope this helps.

It sounds like your hard drive crashed. When a hard drive fails many times you can hear it clicking. You will need a replacement drive.

I hope this helps,

You can download the drivers from ASUS WEB site. Selectyour model motherboard/computer/laptop, and make sure you select the Windows XPor Vista version of the drivers that matches your Windows operating system.Please click on this link to their WEB support site : - http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us Check the motherboard specification for the largest capacity hard drive the BIOS can support. A BIOS upgrade may allow you to install a larger hard drive. You can use a large capacity external USB hard drive or install a second hard drive in your computer.

External hard drives are plug and play, the drivers are build into windows.
IF the hard drive was connected when your computed crashed, and the hard drive was in use, it may have damaged it.
If it does not automatically connect to other PC's looks like it has been damaged

Try copying the driver files (install and otherwise) to a USB flash stick. Put it into a usb port, turn computer on. You should then be able to access the files throughout the installation.

www.driverguide.com would have the drivers for that. Tahnks and please rate

Pardon me, but NO! The statement, "two things are responsible for booting up computer RAM and Hard Drive" is simply not true.

A hard drive crash COULD cause the symptoms you describe, but that is more indicative of a virus infection. When you say the XP reinstallation disk would not start it exactly how did you use that disk? Attempt to use the repair console? Boot directly from the disk? Attempt reinstallation of the whole operating system? If you attempted reinstallation, do you also have the specific drivers for all of the components E-Machines used when they built your computer (you will need at least some of them.)

Post again with some more details about how you used the reinstallation disk.
