Need drivers for installing Vista

[image: http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/7910/vista1.gif]
When I get to this point the computer does not locate any drivers.
Where do I find the driver I need?
Is this a driver for the motherboard?
Thank you Matt

Hi,

No, not the motherboard per se, but close. If I'm not mistaken, you are at
the drive selection screen. This message is telling you that Vista setup
does not have a driver for the sata connection used by this system. This is
not uncommon as while many are included with Vista, there are some for
various reasons that are not. You will need to provide this driver via thumb
drive, floppy, or CD in order to proceed. You should be able to obtain it
from either the manufacturer's site or from a driver disk included with the
motherboard.

If an OEM PC such as HP or Dell you get the driver from their website. If a
custom built system the driver should be on a CD that shipped with the
motherboard.

It is an Emachine. T5082
Right now I was able to install an old XP version for now.
The computer is running fine just I am not able to reinstall the Vista.
I guess I need some sort of Sata Raid Controller.
Which is not listed at the Emachine site.

Here is list of drivers from the Emachine support.

Make sure Emachine offers drivers for vista. If they do not, there is a
program that i can't remember what it is called off the top of my head
that forces an XP drive to be a vista driver. I have had this issue
before and had to force a video driver from xp to use in vista. If you
by chance find a vista driver for it, put it on a flash drive and when
it ask you for it, load it from your flash drive.
