The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Installing XP problem with Sata Drivers -  Toshiba Satelite Pro  L40

Asked by click4pc in Operating Systems Miscellaneous, Drivers, PC Laptops

Tags: toshiba, sata, l40, driver, xp

I am attempting to reinstall the Toshiba Satelite Pro Laptop with XP Home SP2 (it was shipped with Vista)
however I am having difficulty with sata controller driver.

I obtained the relevant sata driver for XP from the Toshiba website (The Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager)
put the drivers on a floppy disk and connected a usb floppy drive to the laptop.

I am familiar with the setup process to install addional disk controller drivers during xp setup i.e hold down F6 and specify the additional drivers.  

All these steps appear to work fine as setup detects the Hard drive and allows a partition to be created and formats it.  However after it copies the files the following message is displayed  

"Insert Disk labelled: intel matrix storage manager driver

Into drive A. Press Enter to continue."  

It will not go beyond this point.

My first thoughts were that either the floppy disk or drive were fauly,  but I have eliminated both of these.

I've also checked with the intel website and the drivers appear to be correct.

The floppy disk I used contained the following files:

  iaAhci.inf, iaAhci.cat,
  iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat,
 iaStor.sys, TxtSetup.oem.
 readme.tx and license.txt

Your thoughts would br greatly appreciated.
