if that is the case, then you are going to need to get hold of the sata drivers for that machine along with a FDD (USB or otherwise) and a Floppy disk. Then, when you see F6 on screen hit that puppy. then load the sata drivers that are on your floppy. this will allow the O/S to continue installation.
