    Hi

    I made a big f**k up and now i have no more OS.

    I am trying to install from a XP pro CD but during the install it is missing the sata drivers.

    i have downloaded from the HP site the SATA drivers but you seem to need a USB diskette drive to install them - which offcourse I don't have

    does anyone know if it could also work if I would burn the files to a CD or on a USB stick ?????
