I have recently upgraded to windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit from windows Vista. I have disabled SATA controller in the BIOS because it was not recognizing hard disk. I have attached screenshot of my motherboard specification. Can anyone suggest from where I can download, install SATA driveres?
And also how can i check my all drivers are up to date or not? I am using default drivers now.
Thanks,
Alex
Try here:

If no drivers on HP web site, we will need now what SATA controller you have.

As for installing without a floppy, that isn't a problem Windows 7 (and Vista as well) is more than capable of installing the driver from a USB stick, memory card, or even off of another partition or hard drive,

#8, just point it to whatever device has the appropriate INF file(s) on it.
