You set the compapibility mode in the thinkpad to ide mode and install Windows. Then you get the sata drivers once its up and running. You cannot avoid sata. The alternative which I've never had work is get a driver floppy and when the Windows CD tells you to his Fwhatever to load a driver, feed it that floppy. -- STeve Andre' Disease Control Warden Dept. of Political Science Michigan State University A day without Windows is like a day without a nuclear incident. _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
