SATA Controller drivers for Sony VIAO VGN-NR110E needed
I purchased a Sony VIAO VGN-NR110E a week back, and have been unable to install Windows XP Pro as it tells me "Windows cannot find a hard disk." I'm assuming it is because this has a Hitachi 120GB SATA drive and SATA controller. I have to load the drivers for the controller, but am unable to find drivers on Sony's site or anywhere else.
I hope that someone will be able to help me as I truly hate Windows Vista. thanks in advance.
