I am trying to make a driver floppy for my Western digital 80 gig sata hd, I have found the files but when i try to put them on a disk it tells me its too big... i had a floppy already but the info got corrupted and as i did not make the first disk, I'm not quite sure how it works. i know that the files used to fit,can u tell me what specific files are needed?

Did you get a CD with the Hard Drive, it should have a section to create floppy disk with the SATA drivers

the drivers are not for the hard drive, but for the sata controller on the motherboatd

You should start a new thread.
When you do, tell us why you haven't updated the BIOS.
