Loading Xp To A Sata Drive On Dell Xps Gen 2 Computer
I had a crash and bought a new 1 TB SATA drive. XP attempts to start Windows after loading the files. It hangs. I can't locate the drivers to use with the F6 option during XP installation. There is a lot of stuff out there, but I can't find what I need. Can you point me to the files?

First off, you do not actually need a driver software to access your SATA driver or any hard disk drive. Unfortunately, if the problem is related to a hardware part there is no way to recover the files stored. If it is only related to the XP Operating System, you can still recover the files by reinstalling the Windows XP installer.
If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask here at HelpOwl. Experts here are always willing to answer your questions to the best of our knowledge and expertise.
