Its nice to see that someone has the answers. After 2 weeks and new hard drives for no reason I found your post especially the one about moving it to a cd instead of the floppy. Thanks Again!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for ths great tip.
Thank you so much for your article! I really appreciate the time you put into it, because, being a moderate computer geek not a nerd, mind you I have the knowledge that I need…but unfortunately not much when it comes to BIOS. Raymond a big thanks,i was completely stuck,i just took the combination option in the bios for raid mode and hey it found the partitions! Cheers raymond.
Unbelievable, I went through and updated drivers for everything on my computer, I downloaded new disks, completely wiped harddrive set everything to 0s then installed totally new label and linux OS then tried XP and vista, but neither would boot. So finally called Dell and of course stayed on the phone with them until they decided it was just that my hard drive was completely broken and sent me a new hard drive. It worked with nLite!
Only problem for me was to extract Floppy-files without a floppy-drive! I have dell Tried to install xp as i was not able to start window. I changed, 1. Thanks a lot for your help! Drive was not detectable but chnaged the drive settings a little different from post and it worked! You are the man. By default the HDD is top of the order so the laptop will tend to boot straight to Vista otherwise. Never could find them. But this posting led me to where i needed to be.
