Great article! But I still cannot get Windows Setup to recognize my SATA drive. I used all the drivers you mentioned. My controller is the Intel 82801FR SATA AHCI. I did not see that one listed the driver list that comes up when I loaded your infs. Many others do, but not the FR version. Do I have the wrong ones?

When I made a slipstreamed ISO before, it incorrectly recognized my OS as HOME EDITION, and when I installed with it and it completed and rebooted and I logged in the first time, I got the error: "The product key is not valid for this media type.

The source has WIN51IC but not WIN51.IC Is there a difference? My source is a VL1.0 media that is Windows XP Pro (no SP2). Which is how I got here because I want ot slipstream a CD with SP2 and Intel SATA drivers Thanks for helping everyone!

after scanning my install files, Nlite shows the installation CD it is creating as XP HOME edition (5.1.2600.0) This is strange because I have used this installation many times and it is XP Pro? Should I be worried that the disk I create is going to be the wrong version or is it just an incorrect label? Thanks to anyone who can help me!
