trying to use ultra II in Toshiba Satellite L305D

Hi,

I hope this is the fight forum.

I bought an Ultra II 240 GB recently, and I am trying to use it in my Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook, as the boot HD.

My old drive is dead, so I could not do a data clone.

When using utility products that start via the CD-rom, the drive is visible and formattable.

However, when I insert my XP install disk and it begins to load files from the CD, after a short time the computer goes to the blue screen where it says that it has shut down XP to prevent damage.

Am I supposed to be providing the install program with a sandisk driver? I can’t find this driver on sandisk’s pages.

The material seems to be mostly for people who have a working operating system that is already able to run programs.

To make things worse, my internet access is severely limited right now. I could really use some help from this forum.

Thanks much.

the SATA drviers are native to the operating system so there is no need for drivers from sandisk. What are the error code from the BSOD?
