Legolash2o Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) 64bit or just normal home/pro?if you want the link to all your drivers just say and ill post the linkBelow is the drivers for normal 32bit windows when you integrate them using nLite you might get a popup asking either textmode or pnp, select textmodeP.S you dont have to start a fresh nLite source and can just add on top of a already nLitened XP Edited August 9, 2007 by legolash2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Either integrate the drivers for your SATA controller as mentioned above.Or a simpler way out is to go into your laptop's BIOS/CMOS setup, and make the SATA run in compatibility mode or win95 mode, or old-interface, or whatever the option is named..... this will let your XP "see" the hard-disk & after install completes, you can change back to the SATA-normal mode in BIOS (and install your laptop driver CD after reboot).
