This discussion is the same dilemma that I am having and the posts do not conclude with whether or not the problem was solved. Did your suggestion work? I am trying to reinstall Winxp on a soyo dragon system-AMD Athlon mobo- and I press the F6, as directed. The mobo only came with a CD for drivers which, as you said, won't work. I downloaded all the files from the CD with reference to SATA on a floppy and tried them all when directed by win set up. All of them resulted in the error message that it could not detect TEXTSETUP.OEM. There is an application file on the CD which referred to SATA directory but it was bigger than the floppy could download (1.85MB). Could this be what I need? and if so, how do I get it on floppy? Or, is there no hope for this problem? Any suggestion? Thanks, Cristy
