Hi all...
I want to format a hp laptop, it has a sata hard disk, so, the question
is, do I need some driver for the sata interface to install windows? or
I just put the boot cd-rom and follow instructions and no worry at
all??
thanks!!

Well, I have a dell laptop with a SATA drive, and I did not need to use
a driver cd or anything after I formatted my laptop and wanted to
install XP Pro.

Please log in for more thread options did you use the bootable XP's cd-rom for format the hard disk?

Please log in for more thread options Yeah I just told windows to reinstall, and when it asked if I wanted to
format I chose yes.

Please log in for more thread options With MOST laptops, it's handled in the BIOS so that the SATA drive looks
just like an IDE drive and you don't need any special drivers. But this
is not necessarily the case for absolutely all laptops.
