Thks for your answer first.
i have tried your method but it fails. I think i have made any mistake. When i try to install xp, everything seems to be normal at first. However, the system can not boot to setting up window xp after completetly copying all the temp file to harddisk C drive. Just show an error message in the black screen that c:\windows\system32\hal.dll can not be found.
Furthermore, the speed of copying the temp files to Harddisk drive is very slow. The condition just like smartdrv has not been loaded prior to setting up window xp. Is it possible to make the speed of copying temp file faster?
Actually, i can't understand the step 7, can you further explain it? Many many thanks for your reply.
7. Create a folder BOOTFILES in USB stick root, and copy NTDETECT.COM, NTLDR and your custom BOOT.INI, which will be copied on hard disk later, during the first logon. Set them system, hidden and read-only in advance.
All the steps are being done within working XP. You need to run that from command prompt of your local XP setup folder. An easy way to do that is by adding this registry info:I should run this command within the existing window xp or from dos command booting from windwo xp setup cd or booting from the usb stick ? thanks for your kind replyCMDHERE.REG
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt Here]
@="Command &Prompt Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt Here\command]
@="cmd.exe /k cd %1 "When you import it you may right-click on the desired forder (I386) and from the context menu select OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE.
@wimb- I just hope I did not make typos or missed a thing, as I usually do

Tools --> Options --> Maintenance --> Clean Up now --> Compact.
You can also change your store folder. I always do that. When I have to reinstall, I simply change it back to my custom store folder from the default and all you messages will be there.
it is more stable to use custom store folder?

That file is in the sound drivers from asus, i even went and manually installed it... no change.
kb888111 just like a patch. You have to install this file seperately for some kind of motherboard. Otherwise, you cannot install your sound driver successfully.
KB888111 can be found from your original cd bundled with the motherboard. If you lose it, you may contact the motherboard vendor and ask them to send you back the file.

furthermore, can you paste the details of boot.ini from your C:\

If your laptop is fairly new, you probably need to load the drivers for a Sata disk when prompted at the beginning of the install ("Press F6...").
yes, maybe this additional driver can be downloaded from your official website of your laptop

how can i change number of unfinished connection if tcp/ip in windows xp pro sp2. standard for pro is 10 for home 5. nlite does not change it. maybe som change in register, but i dont know.
you need to download a file for patching 4226
you can find the required file from the below url.
during the process of unpatching 4226, you need to enter the numbers from command prompt . maybe you can enter 100000

Be aware that so many antivirus software will treat this file as virus. If you fell uncomfortable of it, please don't install this file in any aspect.

Here is the edited guide for Windows XP SP2, on 2k/2k3 should work too.
4. Backup your local BOOT.INI and in the XP setup folder \I386 run
winnt32 /makelocalsource /noreboot
after it's finished restore BOOT.INI you backed up.
I should run this command within the existing window xp or from dos command booting from windwo xp setup cd or booting from the usb stick ? thanks for your kind reply

@snowden- the problem when using ntldr and ntdetect.com to boot from stick or setupldr.bin renamed /ntdetect.com is that USB stick is second hard drive as seen and enumerated by them, but setupldr.bin expects files to be on first hard drive. Using GRUB overrides this issue. Unless modified/other/new boot files mentioned are used I don't see a way to fix this issue.
Copying the whole contents of XP CDROM and patching setupldr.bin will save you no more than 2-3 minutes, the time to create $WIN_NT$.~BT and $WIN_NT$.~LS by WINNT32.EXE, but may lead to other issues or incompatibility. I prefer not to use patched files when possible. Surely any other ideas are welcome, as long as this would save time and give better results.
Another idea, which will save you all the steps above is to create an image of a hard disk prepared with $WIN_NT$.~BT and $WIN_NT$.~LS (check winnt32 switches and /system in particular ) folders and place the image from USB using your favorite imaging program, either from PE or from DOS/LINUX. When working with large files USB sticks are usually much faster.
Using Bart PE and running winnt32.exe has always been an option and gives greater flexibility.
the problem when using ntldr and ntdetect.com to boot from stick or setupldr.bin renamed /ntdetect.com is that USB stick is second hard drive as seen and enumerated by them, but setupldr.bin expects files to be on first hard drive. --> this is the main point

It seems a bit ridiculous to have to do all these things just to get windows installation started from a usb stick. Is there no way of just copying the \i386 folder from a cdrom (or even an nlite distribution) to the usb stick, and format (or probably 'hex') the ntldr or something to boot the setupldr.bin into the text-phase of setup that normally initializes when you boot from a cd-rom (ie not having to run the winnt.exe)?
For me, using the winnt.exe to install from the usb stick is only a bit of a nuisance at the moment because I haven't found a way to stop it installing the ~BT folder onto the usb stick itself - even when i used the winnt.exe /t:<drive> command. The ~LS folder copies ok to the partition i designate. If the ~BT folder would only copy along with the ~LS folder (to the partition), everything would be fine! I know I could probably copy it across, but the winnt.exe program would already have tampered with the usb stick configuration anyway. It really would make life a lot easier, but as we all know, nothing is ever straightforward!
i have the same problem also. Still finding the solution currently.

Installing Windows XP on a SATA Drive
in Hard Drive and Removable Media
Posted
"If I unplug the IDE drive and try to boot off the XP CD it will say "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration" but wont ask me to "Push any key to boot off the CD". ==> this condition is normal since window xp cd can not detect a valid OS in your system, Then setup is automatically run.
On the other hand, what is your brandname of your SATA drive , is it a new one?
You can download disk manager from the official web site of HDD. such as seagate/maxtor to test the integrity of your HDD. Furthermore, pls. change back the boot sequence from your BIOS C->cdrom->others after copying all temp file to your HDD
