Hi Im Getting a new pc with a SERIAL ATA II HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE
do i just wack my xp pro cd in and install it as normal or is it more complicated then that somebody told me i need to mess about with a floppy disk and stuff?
Yes you need to create a floppy disk with the drivers of the SATA controller.But don't worry,it's very easy if you just follow the instructions of the motherboard's manual.
