Hi,

Do a google search on this issue, you will see a lot of links with possible solutions, try each of them (with care ofcourse).

some require you to have an externla floppy drive, and some require USB drives.

There is no perfect one way to solve it, so need to try different things.

Go to "SATA Operation":



CHANGE THE SATA OPERATION SETTING TO "ATA"

solution to this:

go to bios, and change sata to IDE

@ Yaseen afridi

On HP530 enter setup ans go to Device config,turn of SATA Native mode to disable and you will be able to formate using XP OS............

Thanks bluestone that worked for me!

Bluestone's solution worked for me too, by the way.

SATA/RAID HDD NOT FOUND ERROR DURING WINDOWS SETUP!

I also have faced this problem and I have a package of solutions for this....

The easiest way is to change Bios Config --> Sata Native Support --> Disable [or] Config ..> Sata Native Mode --> ATA-IDE to SATA / RAID

And still If you cannot fix the problem, refer to my blog and fix it!

In my view, the only best article written about this issue on:http://dhicrypt.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!82D9BA74B134B7FA!255.entry

If flash drive didnt work then goto nLited XP. In Windows Vista installation users can browse flash drives, So I dont think there will be a prob.

And in xp, some flash drivers are supported and if your flash already support then check you usb settings in BIOS.

WOW !!!!!!!!!!:)

Thanks alot guys it sure worked well for me to, and now i'm ready to work with my laptop.

Thanks Thanks Thanks. Great Tip!
