cygnifi, Which drivers did you actually use to slipstream for your SATA interface to install XP. I have a DV4T-1000 but I have not managed to slipstream any drivers into a CD that have lead to a successful installation menu for XP during boot up. Either I am using the wrong SATA drivers (please provide the ones you used) or I am not using nlite in the right way (it seems fairly straight forward). Please provide a description on how you went about getting XP on the DV4T-1000. http://www.msfn.org/board/style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif
