Hello guys I am having Compaq mini 110C-1011ER laptop, I had bought this laptop few months back. Everything was working fine on my laptop but recently I have downloaded some mobile application on my laptop from internet and due to that some virus got installed in my laptop so decided to format my laptop for the 1st time but installer doesn’t find any partition on my hard drive. Mini found my HDD with logic partition on it but installer is not able to recognize it. So guys please help me to find the sata drivers for my hard drive.

Well guys you can easily find the drivers on the Intel website I had same kind of problem for my Samsung laptop and I found the drivers of my laptop. You guys have to search for SAT ACHI drivers for your notebook. And before the start of downloading you have to accept the agreement, download and you can install at the F6 prompt using a floppy or a flash drive. Hope this information is quite enough for you guys.

Guys first you have to visit the Intel web sites, and then in the download center search for the “ICH7” drivers and then go to the “Download Details” and then on the “Download Confirmation” you have to accept the agreement and as soon as you will click or check in front of the I accept the agreement downloading will begin. Well I am sure “ICH7” will work for you guys else you can search your laptop specific drivers on HP website.
