WinPE not seeing hard drive on T60

#1 Post by BGChris » Tue Oct 03, 2006 9:12 am

Having trouble seeing the hard drive when booting off a cd w\Winpe. The harddrive never shows up. Added the drivers in but can't get the harddrive to work. Help would be great.

Try setting the Hard Drive to Compatibility Mode in the BIOS.

Alternative is to put SATA drivers in your PE build

Yes, that would be better. I just haven't worked with PE builds to give advice on that.
