How to install SATA driver located in windows setup? Hi, I've been reading tutorials on this site on how to load SATA drivers within setup but that assumes I have a driver on floppy disk or anywere else.
I don't have SATA driver, instead I wanna be able to load SATA driver which is shiped with Windows 7 setup(located inside a setup)
Windows 7 setup does have alot of drivers included, how do I access them and install manualy? paricualy SATA driver
thank you. | My System Specs |

It shouldn't be necessary to install a SATA controller driver. Windows 7 installer should have almost all SATA drivers ready. | My System Specs | | |

Thanks for reply,
there are some situation when setup don't load SATA drivers manulay or even worse it can't detect Hard drive.
I had such problems a week ago and also opened a thread here on sevenforums to get help around that.
that's why I'm asking this and would like to learn how to avoid posible/similar problems in the future
knowing how to load driver manualy is not bad i guess | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Satelite P300D 13J (Short model No: PSPDCE) OS Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP1 Version 6.1 Build 7601 CPU x64bit AMD Turion(tm) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-82 Memory 4096 (2048 + 2048) MB, DDR2 RAM (800 MHz), max 8,192 MB Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3650+HyperMemory™(512MB VRAM+2302MB) Sound Card Manufacturer: harman/kardon Monitor(s) Displays Generic PnP Monitor (MONITOR\LPLA101) Screen Resolution 1440 x 900 (19" LCD) Keyboard USB Logitech S520 Mouse USB Logitech S520 PSU Batery: technology : lithium-ion Cooling integrated cooler + 3x external cooler Hard Drives HDD1: TOSHIBA MK3252GSX ATA Device (IDE 320 GB 5,400 o/min) ,

In the rare case (normally with older IDE drives) that the storage controller driver is missing during install, resulting in nothing being shown in the drives selection window, select Load Drivers and browse to the unzipped storage drivers file externally:  click to enlarge | My System Specs | | |

Never had to do this since Windows 7 has always provided needed SATA and IDE drivers here. I can only recall one case where an IDE driver had to be provided from stick.
May be faster to spec the SATA controller and provide the latest Windows 7 or Vista driver on stick or CD.
Prompting for drivers is almost always a bad installer: ISO, burn, DVD drive, flash stick badly written, etc. Have you cross checked DVD with flash stick install attempt, or vice versa? | My System Specs | | |

Thanks for support gregrocker,
I had clean Windows 7 original ISO while having this problem, but acctualy problem was in my hardware I suppose.
I hope this problem will not come again,
anyway, good or bad I just wanna know if is it possible to load *.sys file(driver) manulay trought command promt or "load driver" link?
and if yes, how?
if it's not then never mind

Yes, click Load Driver link, browse to driver file on stick or CD then see if it picks it up. | My System Specs | | |
