Sata abit VI7 Socket 478 motherbord fining disk in win xp setup
Hey!
I am trying 2 reinstall my computer and i lost my install disk for my motherbord (abit Socket 478 V17 VIA PT800) I got 2 Samsung SP1213C SCSI disk on 120gb. I cant find the drives i need. I find one that 10megs but that will not fit on a floppy. and since xp only allows a floppy when it needs a driver, it will not work. Is there anyway 2 go around this or just get like some ddl file out of the package so i can get my disks found? Or maybe there is a installdisk somewhere that i can download, i just cant find it on abits homepage! Grateful for any help! //Ninel |

It should be on Abit's website. I tried to find it myself but the motherboard model you provided doesn't appear to be correct. What country are you in. Not all motherboards were available in all countries. Can you find the correct model number?

I found drivers on the homepage. But I cant find any "startup" driver. the one I can find on the page is 10mb and it cant fit on a floppy...
im from sweden btw. For download of the drivers I have found go 2 uabit.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=32&Itemid=48&page=4&model=133 but it will not fit on a floppy. |

If you really do have an Abit V17 then you gave us the wrong link address. The correct address is:
http://www2.abit.com.tw/page/en/moth...RODINFO=Driver You can download the driver from Silicon Image because the Abit site does not seem to be working. http://www.siliconimage.com/support/...ctid=2&osid=4& Which ever one you need they are all small enough to fit on a floppy. It is possible to open large executables with WinRAR and extract the drivers from the package. Last edited by Cinders; 01-04-2008 at 06:09 PM. |

Please download the driver from Silicon Image. Their driver will work with your device and will be more up to date than the Abit driver.
If you click on this link you will download the SATA RAID driver. If you click on this link you will download the regular SATA driver. Last edited by Cinders; 01-04-2008 at 06:30 PM. |
