I am installing xpsp2 with a sata driver. Of course no diskette in a one year old pc and so I use nlite to stream the drivers with the genuine legit install cd (xp home dutch). When I start the install the driver loads fine. I then see the partitions of my sata disk. After clicking install I get a message telling me that the partition is not good for a windows install (it's 39 GB part of a 80 gig disk). No matter what I try the install doesn't work... Worst part is that my original c: partition is now unpartitioned and booting up the pc impossible...... I searched the forum for this problem but to no avail. Is there a workaround or should I leave nlite and buy myself a floppy disk? Any suggestions/help appreciated.
