Notepad Trick


* Open a blank Notepad file

* Write .LOG as the first line of the file, press enter.

* Save the file and close it.

* Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the current date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor on the line after.

* Type your notes and then save and close the file.

* Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process, appending the time and date to the end of the file and placing the cursor below it.

ERROR: Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer

Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

This problem happens when you have SATA hard drive and you have RAID/SATA mode configured in BIOS.


If u occur this Error the method is to change the SATA Mode to IDE in BIOS. My computer BIOS is Phoenix AwardBIOS 6.00PG and I can change the SATA Mode to IDE by going to Integrated Peripherals > SATA Devices Configuration > SATA Mode [RAID] and change to [IDE]



Now I am able to install Windows XP as normal.
