You are correct that the SATA drivers for windows can be found at the link above. &nbsp;Unfortunately, the drivers you reference are for after you have installed windows and need to update the unknown hard drive controller. &nbsp;I was looking for the drivers to feed XP during the install. &nbsp;A couple of hours after posting my question I found the packaged drivers at HP<br />

that enabled me to install windows. &nbsp;Then I was able to install the gateway drivers.<br />
<br />
What's sad is the number of units being released today without XP or earlier drivers. &nbsp;But, then that's part of the fun!<br />

You are correct that the SATA drivers for windows can be found at the link above.  Unfortunately, the drivers you reference are for after you have installed windows and need to update the unknown hard drive controller.  I was looking for the drivers to feed XP during the install.  A couple of hours after posting my question I found the packaged drivers at HP

Fair enough. &nbsp;Usually you can crack open one of the CAB files in the installer and find the ini or sys file required. &nbsp;<br />
Glad you got it going.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
