Hi all,
I have the same problem as zac_caz. I`ve recently bought a Fujitsu Siemens Laptop Amilio pi1505 and cannot install Windows Xp Proffesional on it. It came with Home Edition installed, and now as I`m trying to install XP Pro, the setup doesn`t find any hard drive. I have a hard drive from Western Digital called wd1200bevs.
What I`ve tried is:
1. Copying XP Pro distrubution to a folder named CD
2. Extracted DPBase
3. Copied DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_608 and DP_Chipset_wnt5_x86-32_6091 to DriverPacks folder where I let DPBase extract to.
4. Ran the DPBase i mode 2 (is this the text mode). I reffered to the folder CD where the "I386" folder is subfolder.
5. Everything seemed to work fine.
6. I then used WinIso to make a iso of the XP Distrubution from the CD ROM.
7. I deleted i386 folder, document folder, support folder, VALUEADD folder from the image I`d created.
8. I pasted the i386 folder, document folder, support folder and VALUEADD folder from the CD folder into the image
9. I burned an Image with NERO,
10. I tried to install Windows XP Pro with the CD I created.
11. Experienced the same problem and the setup doesn`t still find any hardware.
I would have appreciated any kind of help. I`ve been trying this for 3 days now and it`s pretty confusing.
It might be some silly mistake that I`ve made but I hope you could help me.
Stoph
