Download the 3.0mb file that you spoke of earlier. Inside the download there is a folder called disk. That folder is only 271kb. Just copy those files over to a floppy and that should work for ya. When loading windows and it prompts you to install a raid or 3rd party controller I think it says to hit F8. It will load that driver off the floppy and you should be set.

That is weird. I did notice the file name in the disk folder is Upper Case T. and you said it asked for lower case. Not sure if it is case sensative but it is worth a try. Just rename the file with a lower case t.

all right so, i have a compaq presario (hp) V3020us and i had a trojan attack which norton couldn't block and i did everything to try and remove it step by step etc.etc...
anyways, i used window washer to do a bootable disc "system erase" which i did.
now, my computer has no OS and my hard drive is wiped. it's simply a fresh computer.
however, the window xp is not reading the drive and i went through all the steps above and still...im not able to continue to install xp....
