Well, I figured out part of the problem. I was integrating the SP3 and the drivers however, i was using PowerISO in order to create an image and burn it. When I did a direct burn from nLite, it worked. Now to see if it'll recognize my hard drive...

Sorry for not clarifying. Yes, I can boot from my original non-sp XP Pro disc. It is only after integrating the SP3 and the SATA drivers (which I need in order for XP to recognize my hdd on my laptop and install) that the laptop does not recognize the cd during boot. Any ideas?

Alright, so I have my original XP Pro (no SP) disc that I bought a long time ago. I integrated SP3 and SATA drivers for my laptop into the disc, however, when i try to boot up to cd to install, it isn't recognized. I HAVE set the disc drive to the first boot device, it winds up the drive, but doesn't see the disc. Any recommendations? I have toggled the "press any key to boot from disc" option in nLite and burned multiple (8+) different tries to no avail...I'm at wits end ;; Help please!
