Thank you so much! I am working with an older IBM Thinkpad (Levono x60) and after I ran Active Killdisk and tried to load it with WinXPSP3, I got the same error. Setting the SATA config to Compatibility mode worked like a charm! I love the internet!

Perfect .. thanks for the lead. Have an HP and only had an option to Disable SATA Native support from BIOS but it worked a treat.

Thanks! Changing Sata settings in BIOS worked with my Lenovo T61 and solved the problem. Great post!

Hey , i have faced this problem majorly on toshiba machines but never solved any…
now the floppy disk drive you talk about is not available on these laptops…
in this case, can i use a disk to extract these drivers?

i mean like a memory stick that uses usb..
thanks big.
