[Ham-Computers] Toshiba Laptop and XP pro

[Loren Moline WA7SKT]

Johnny,

I have a Compaq so am not sure what you hit to get to bios. It will state on the screen on bootup how to go to setup.Usually is some F key.

I just reformatted and installed XP but you must go into bios and disable the native SATA mode. Wont make any difference on XP because only Vista uses the native mode.
