I have a Fujitsu Lifebook N3530 laptop which originally came with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 installed on it.There was a bad trojan infection and got the worst BSOD and could not boot up in any way. I removed the HD and formatted, intending to install XP Pro booting from the cd. Now, since the laptop came with a SATA hard drive installed and the XP Pro disk does NOT include a SATA controller in setup “the ‘hard drive’ could not be found”. This required me to download a controller and put it on a floppy or a flashdrive (I have an external)and use that for the setup and install. My problems are: 1) I cannot find a SATA controller for this Fujitsu Lifebook n3530 SATA hard drive(120gb)that is downloadable to and extractable from a floppy or USB. 2) I’m seeing a few different ways to do this install(with the proper install of controller drivers for a SATA hd), what is the best way to approach this, step by step?
I would appreciate any and all help!
Thank you! T.Robert
