Hey there everyone, so i've been working on this for a few days and am getting really annoyed so i'm asking for help. i have a gateway mt6840 laptop which originally had vista on it, the vista wasn't working out so i'm putting xp on it.
i've tried the sata controller drivers that gateway specs say i should use and they copy originally but when installation of xp starts it gives an error about not being able to find or copy the drivers or some nonscence. i have also tried the other mobile drivers in the same download bundle to no avail, so unless i'm missing something, thats not working, i also have available a desktop computer with sata capabilities and a sata to usb adapter so if that is an option it's available. and i have installed xp onto the drive from the desktop and it works on the desktop but when i put it back into the laptop it bluescreens which makes scence because of the drivers missing for the board, but i dont' know if i could switch the drivers from the intalled ones to the ones for the laptop.
Thanks for any info about this.
