It is a SATA 160 western digital. What should I change the config to.

Last known config, safe mode, nothing works

this is what I would do, boot to your xp, load your sata drivers at the start, (bottom of screen), choose install, then repair
 
When I boot with CD I hit enter to start setup and it says that it does not find hard drives and I must exit

don't you see at the bottom of screen to load your harddrive drivers, I forget which key it is, since I use ide
 
Yep your right. I guess I have two days of searching for the drives. Too much crap. what would be the download I need from Western Digital if i dont have cd? The file is small enough for a disk, right? Poo, more searchin.

yep, good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I have several disks but booting from cd brings me to press f6 for third party driver. Im hitting f6 but nothing. next option is f2 for auto recovery, and if i hit f2 it works but I have no such disk.

Is there another key to press other than f6?
