Hello all, I have a formatted western digital 250G HD. I am trying to install Vista Home Premium and I get stalled when it asks for drivers. I don't know where to get the appropriate drivers

when i attempt the install, the software says it does not have the hard drive driver. western digital says they do not provide the drivers. they said i have to get vista sp2, which i downloaded from a different computer. the problem is i cannot even install the sp2 because i have no operating system installed yet. i downloaded onto a flash drive the motherboard (asus) driver and it doesnt seem to want that one.

No need for any drivers for HD.

You need the drivers for your Sata controller.

Can post a link to your mobo drivers?

mobo = motherboard.

Go to HP site - find your exact machine model and download the SATA drivers.
