When the Dell 1200 notebook was installed with WinXP, the drive letter was

. I got a Dell Vostro 1200 today and I am going to install Windows XP. I did not expect the first installation to be a problem, the installation process to the partition step, the report can not find the hard disk (the following partition list shows no hard disk). After using the Linux rescue disk, all partitions were deleted with fdisk, and Windows XP was installed again. The result was still the same. Later, the person who asked the technical support said that the hard disk of this notebook is a SATA interface, and it must be installed with a Windows XP installation disk with integrated SATA driver. Halo, the original Windows XP installation disk also has a variety of different versions. After getting the Windows XP installation disk integrated with SATA, I continued to install it. This time everything went smoothly, but after I finished it, I entered the system and looked at it, what? How do two hard disk partitions become E: and F:, and the system is installed on E:? And C:, but it is occupied by the card reader. Later, I tried to change the system to the C: disk by modifying the registry, but it failed. I checked the Internet and found that the problem with Dell's book is actually well known. The solution is also simple. It is to enter the BIOS to turn off all onboard USB devices, and then install it without problems. So enter the BIOS to turn off all USB devices, install, this time successfully completed, no problem.
