WinXP Pro -Sp2 Intergration

[Sp0iLedBrAt]

Very true jaclaz,

I am familiar with the universal SATA driver, but if it were the issue of slipstreaming the SATA driver before installing, it should have already been done. The problem now is whether installing this universal driver on a live system, restarting and making the appropriate changes in the BIOS will boot up Windows, therefore allowing him to insert the Intel driver. This is possible with AHCI on AMD motherboards, which I have successfully used.

(Also have in mind that EdWh has on several occasions proclaimed himself to be a novice, so I'm trying to keep my explanations simple)

Cheers

Hi Guys,

I really appreciate all you guys have done for me. I have learned a lot. The Slipstreaming worked fine and my new disk will now load to a hdd on this motherboard, I ran the system to a 160gb hdd and loaded in several programs and it is working fine and I will keepthe hdd as a backup for the XpPro System. I use Acronis True Home 10.0 and Acronis Disk Management 10.0 to configure all my drives and clone my operating system to a extra drive, test it as a actual clone and then leave it in the case disconnected and if I have problems I just plug in the reserve drive and reclone back to the problem drive and have both active again and again leave one as a back up.

To me it the easy way to have a back up. The only problem I have found using this system is that one drive falls behind in new programs and files so to solve I, re clone once a month so my back up drive is never out of date over a month old.

I have used this procedure for years and it is quite simple. My problem here was the old XP Pro would not load on this system but Xp Home Premium would load so needed the sp3 on the original disk which I now have. I do not do much with drivers other than updating from ie=Nividia Video cards, etc. You solved my problem very well and again I thank you for all the work you put into it.

Thank all of you very much from a WW11, Korean Vet. Much is appreciated and well done, Merry Christmas. EdWh, short for EdWelch.
