sata driver install problem!
anyone know how to install windows through a usb flash drive ? install from a usb flash drive not onto the flash drive ...
i've got a hp laptop that requires special sata drivers because it's not included on the windows cd to install and boot the hard drive correctly ... i have the files but i don't have a floppy disk and the usb drive can't be access when pressing f6 ?!?! |

try this:
it allows for bootable usb keys. Does your bios support booting from USB drives? if not check for a bios update before trying to boot to the usb flash drive. HP Drive Key Boot Utility http://tinyurl.com/kaytz

tried that but it requires a floppy drive w/ a floppy disk inside ... if i try to format it as a floppy disk the floppy drive jsut freezes for like 10 seconds and nothing happens .. if i try to format it was a hard drive it'll have some weird firmware flash files in it ..
