    SATA Drivers for Windows XP 64-Bit on Dell L502X


    I have Windows Home Premium x64 installed on my Dell L502X (early 2011 model) Laptop.
    I want to install Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 on my other drive for gaming etc (dual boot keeping win 7 also).
    I am installing it thru USB pendrive E2B software but during installation it is asking me for SATA drivers .I don't know how to go thru .

    I believe you need to have WinXP with SP1 or SP1a on the disc or maybe SP2 to get SATA support, otherwise you'll need the SATA drivers for 64-bit copied onto a USB drive and plugged in then press F6 at the prompt to install SCSI drives from disc. That install screen just was never updated to display other removable devices than a floppy. I've done it with the 32-bit versions of WinXP a number of years ago, never had 64-bit hardware until Vista came out but needed Vista so never installed the 64-bit WinXP.
