Can XP Pro be installed on a SATA drive?
I got a 320 gig SATA WD Caviar drive to install XP Pro on a Core2 Duo
machine. I get as far as the last stage or so of the install and got a blue screen "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer" If this is the first time you've seen this yada yada yada - then Stop 0x00000024 (0x001902FA, 0xF76A6300, 0xF76A6000, 0x805380B2) I saw a mention somewhere that XP doesn't support SATA. Not sure how that can be if I've been running this machine with auxilliary SATA drives installed on it. Why would it let me get this far in the installation process? Of course I don't know for sure what the root cause of the problem was to begin with. I decided to try a different drive since I seened to have ongoing issues ever since installing that other IDE drive and the drive was on sale under $50 for 320 gigs. Thanks for all input |

At least not AHCI/SATA support anyway. If you turn off AHCI in the BIOS, then you don't need a SATA driver. Although to run the SATA controller in either AHCI or RAID mode, you need to install a driver otherwise XP can't see it. ~~~~~~~~~~ Windows XP (and any OS older than Vista or linux kernel 2.6.19) does not have came pre-packaged with driver to support AHCI/SATA mode, thus creating a very common error that Wikipedia also described as "when attempting to install Microsoft Windows XP or a previous version on an AHCI-enabled system will cause the setup to fail with the error message 'set up could not detect hard disk drive…'". http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/1...-on-ahci-mode/ ~~~~~~~~~~ -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) Centrino Core Duo 1.83G - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |

Thanks for all input Yes, it is true. Windows XP doesn't come with any SATA drivers and you must (if you need them) install them in the very beginning of the install by pressing F6 to install RAID, SATA, or any other device driver(s) to work with Windows XP. And this is usually done by having the driver(s) on a floppy disk. Yes an USB floppy drive will work too. If you are using a recovery disc to install XP and not a MS one, odds are good that it includes the driver that you need. So you don't have to worry about it. Another thing one can do without the driver on some BIOS is toggle a setting for the drive. It will read and write a tad slower, but you can get by without a driver. Having said all of this, I don't believe this is your problem. As if it was, the install couldn't see the SATA drive in the first place to start the install. Now that STOP 0x24 error is the key to your whole problem. Basically it means your file system is corrupt. So now what? Well here is pretty good advice and it is a good start. And good luck! http://www.geekswhoknow.com/articles...error-code.htm -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) Centrino Core Duo 1.83G - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |

It's correct that XP doesn't support SATA. But that doesn't mean that you can't use SATA with XP, it means that the support for SATA has to come from outside of XP. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
