Default Re: Boot CD for formatting
It's SATA that's the problem; if there's no IDE compatability mode in the BIOS then you need to load the drivers from a floppy (press F6 when the XP install tells you so for external drivers).

Or when you have a laptop or other preinstalled computer just use the recovery CD/DVD.

You can also make a XP cd with the drivers included. I believe it's called slipstreaming.

1. Download the drivers for your motherboard SATA controller, or locate them from the motherboard driver CD-ROM.
2. Copy the driver files to a floppy.
3. Boot the Windows XP Installation.
4. When prompted hit F6 to install additional drivers. The installation will read floppy in A: for the drivers.
5. Select the correct driver (often you have couple of different options to choose from, say 2000, XP 32bit, XP 64bit) and hit enter.
6. Continue the installation process as usual. Leave the floppy into the A: drive (the installation will copy the files couple of times)

Do know that when you change it back Windows won't boot anymore! There are ways to install the SATA driver afterwards but that requires some tweaking.

Did you change SATA back to AHCI?

First no ... And it could restart fine. I then installed the missing drivers and now it boots also when I change it back ... :-)
