Do you have the OEM host adapter drivers from Adaptec on a floppy and have you inserted the disc after pressing F6? Windows setup needs those to install. Otherwise, no hard drive has been found. I checked the Adatpec site for your model and found nothing. Are you sure that's the correct model

It is listed on the website. Regardless of that, when I press F6, it doesn't respond. I did download the drivers from Adaptec's website but, since F6 won't respond, I can't do that. Prior to this fiasco, I made it so, the system booted from the XP Pro Setup disc. I reformatted a couple

I don't see what's wrong. 1. Press 'Enter' to continue with the installation. seems to be the correct choice, i.e., just proceed. What, explicitly, happens when you do it? How does it not work? If you are expecting to load a third-party (Adaptec) disk/host adapter driver, what's the source

Having an externally powered antenna still does not answer for me what we're supposed to do in a hurricane? Or an ice storm? When we need to get information from the airwaves, when cable and satellite are disabled, do we need to get a battery backup to run an antenna for an ac/dc HDTV?

Hard drives can and do fail suddenly and without warning. But your backup strategy seems to consist entirely of adding more hard drives! This is certainly incorrect, but you don't need to wait for blu-ray; use DVDs like the rest of us do. Any good compression program (e.g. 7zip) will split large
