Is there a file named amd_sata.sys or amd_sata.sy_ within the i386 folder of your XP Image?
amd_sata.sys, what this error meaning? can u dm me pls, limit
The XP Setup needs the required textmode driver (here: amd_sata.sys) to be able to get access to the target drive. This driver has to be present within the i386 folder of the XP Image.
If the Setup cannot find this driver there, the user gets the message, that the related file could not be found.
can u repair this? pls
I was trying to help you, but I cannot solve a problem, which is caused by a certain Windows Customizing tool or by the user himself.
Tip:
If the BIOS of your system gives you the option to set the AMD SATA Controller to “IDE” mode (neither AHCI nor RAID), you may be able to get the original (untouched) XP SP3 Image installed. After having completed the XP installation you can switch the SATA mode to “AHCI” (after having forced the installation of the appropriate, but at this moment not yet matching AMD AHCI driver).
hmm, maybe i can install AMD AHCI driver v1.2.1.321 on win11 then install it on winxp, then error will be gone, or no?
That would not work. You have to do a fresh XP installation and this requires an XP compatible “pure” AMD AHCI driver (unless you install XP in “IDE” mode).
