Dragos Jijau your method works flawlessly, I have a laptop that doesn't have a floppy drive which made it impossible to install XP, I followed your method and created a XP disk with integrated drivers for my ATA drives and it found my drives without a problem. Great job Dragos. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Dragos.
Your guide worked excellent.
I have a Lifebook S7110 and it worked perfect.

Reply #3.1 by musing on 2007-07-15, 02:44 GMT | | i've exactly the same problem:
Lifebook S7110 + XP Professional + WD1600BEVS
(or it can be replaced by WD1200BEVS if the 160Gb
Scorpio's driver would be a problem);
however, the installation process description is somewhat summarily about "getting, unpacking, and installing SATA drivers" - there are none (or at least I'm just too blind to find them) on the WD download pages,
from where you've found yours (I do assume that Fuijtsu is installing WD Scorpios into their's Lifebook S series, but perhaps it has been done by my local vendor)
any halp will be much appreciated

Reply #3.2 by shami_thoke on 2007-07-16, 01:11 GMT | | Hey Dragos,
I did exactly the same and was able to create an ISO image of the widnows-xp with SATA drivers (i have Lifebook 8020D) but lifebook does not recognize this CD.
Meaning with the original windows CD it would atleast ask to install/repair/quit and then error out saying that hard disk not found.
But with this CD it does not even ask for installation or anything. It directly goes and loads Ubuntu (this is already installed). There is a 40GB FAT32 partition for windows kept separately.
Please help me out!
Many Thanks,
shami.

I had the same problem when burning the ISO with a normal CD-burner, so I tried burning with the nLite program directly.
This worked as a charm!

I have followed you directions perfectly on "Install Windows XP on SATA without a Floppy (F6)" with one problem. I am to the point where I am creating the bootable ISO to save so that I can burn it to a CD. I have clicked on the "make ISO" button and it starts (says progressing) but it never shows any progress. I have let it run for several hours (something like 5 or 6 hours) and it never shows any progress. I check Task Manager to see if it is hung up and it is not. Can you help me? Thanks in advance!!!

I need help please. I really hate Window Vista but I follow the method and still can't get it working.
I recently purchase Asus G2S with Sata HDD of course.
It is a system with Window Vista pre-installed but I hate Window Vista and want to re-install Window XP.
I follow all the procedures, using nlite download all drivers that I can find on web. But what happen is, up to the stage where it detected my HDD (suppose to be 300G) to 286 Meg.
My Bios detect the HDD no problem showing 300G. Can someone help me please?
|
Reply #9.1 by groveml on 2007-10-12, 16:45 GMT | | That's not an error - there's always some waste space on the HDD (presume it's taken up by format tables etc)
I have a 400GB HDD (identified as such by BIOS) but only get 372GB usable.
|
|
Reply #9.2 by tcmsurfer on 2008-04-14, 01:10 GMT | | 300GB usually means on a harddrive 300'000'000'000 Bytes. With Computers you usually divide by 1024.
Example:
1024 Bytes = 1KB
1024 KB = 1 MB
1024 MB = 1 GB
300'000'000'000 Bytes = 292'968'750 KB = 286'102 MB = 279,4 GB
You didn't lose any space, it is just calculated differently.

Why do these drives say that they are compatible with XP and in there mauals it tells you that you can either load the drivers from the CD ROM it comes with or just boot from XP and install? Why do they say this if you have to go through the above steps anyway to get XP to work? Or do some drives install XP OK and some don't? I just bought a SATA drive and still have to install it since my PSU doesn't have a SATA power connector. Have to get an adapter for it. Anyway, it came with a CD that has drivers on it so am I OK or will I still have to go through the above steps?

Reply #13.1 by TRU on 2007-12-02, 23:00 GMT | | im not going to tell you what to do, but as a cpu tech i strognly recommend that you degrade to XP PRO unless you like vista. i researched for your drivers and the best drivers i could find were for XP i didnt many vista entries. if you do feel like degrading to XP PRO i can personally build you an ISO for your laptop and send it to you via aim,msn,or yahoo

To everybody with fujitsu siemens notebooks: you can find sata drivers for your wd's at support.fujitsu-siemens.com by simply finding drivers for the type of your notebook and downloading the device driver/AHCI intel driver and the rest is written by dragos.

can anybody help me with the sata driver of Compaq Presario V3660TU ? I'm trying to find the driver. thx
|
Reply #26.1 by pikacu on 2008-01-19, 01:33 GMT | | If your HP (cpompaq) came with preinstalled vista, then your comp has no official XP support. Look at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3571627&lang=en&
and see what's in XP category... nothing useful. Under Vista you'll find all the drivers that wista needs. I don't know why they even list XP and 2000 there. I guess those categories are relics from the old times.
Anyway, in cases like this you have to be a little more creative. HP (compaq) has no XP support beacuse they want you to use bloatware vista, which you don't want to use. When you take a look in Vista drivers category you find that V3660TU uses ICH8 chipset. Probably IntelŽ 82801HBM I/O Controller Hub (ICH8M) - AHCI only. (Just my guess)
Go to > http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2101
and just download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You will run installer file with -A setup flag. Just type
iata_78enu.exe -A
It extracts all files (does not install) to if -P is also supplied; otherwise, the files are extracted to the default location. (program filesintel).
Now you have the drivers you need. Locate them and use nLite to implement them to your XP CD.
This applies to many different systems that use Intel controller not just this Compaq Presario V3660TU.
If there is something not clear, just ask.
Hope this someone helps.

Couple of notes...if you have an older CDROM definetly burn right from the NLite program.
AND - I actually have a floppy drive and used the Intel floppy configuration ulility that creates a floppy disc for you (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OSFullName=Windows*+XP+Home+Edition&lang=eng&strOSs=45&submit=Go%21) AND IT DOES NOT WORK.

Guys, I'm also stuk on installing the XP on my pre-installed Vista acer 6291 notebook. I'm trying this procedure but I'm stuck on option three where you've to found the driver supplied by the manufacturer for installing the XP. The driver which Acer provided me is in IMA extension, name is temp.IMA. Nlite don't recognize this type of file, what to do? Thank you
|
Reply #31.1 by pikacu on 2008-01-18, 23:52 GMT | | Acer provided you a file temp.ima?? I think you've been too creative with trying to extract it from the .exe that writes directly to floppy pal. But guess what, not enough. If you have floppy drive use the .exe to create the floppy for you, if you don't and you don't have other source of the drivers, get a virtual floppy for example here >> http://www.freewarereview.info/2006-03/virtual_floppy_drive_-_floppy_disk_imaging_and_virtualization_part_ii.html
and use it to extract the drivers from .exe so you can add them to your modified Win XP CD.
Option too, if you are lucky, is just to disable SATA AHCI mode in your BIOS (can have different names like 'native sata support' or whatever) and you don't need to fool around with any drivers. BUT, not every bios has this option so look around and see. If you can not force your sata controller to emulate IDE instead of using AHCI you have to implement ahci (sata) drivers onto CD...
hope this someone helps.

Hello,
I have tried to do the same as you have mentioned but when i select the Multiple drivers option and get the browse option to select the directory, i do not see any items in the list, so the NEXT button is inactive. Can not proceed from there. I am installing WinXp in my new HP Pavillion laptop and the SATA HDD is WD2500BEVS (Western Digital). I downloaded the driver file from this page - http://support.wdc.com/download/index.asp?cxml=n&pid=14&swid=53
I would highly appreciate if you could help me out in this.
best regards,
Sangeeth

Reply #35.1 by pikacu on 2008-01-19, 01:59 GMT | | And what do you want at wdc.com?? Don't worry about your hard drive, you need a driver for your SATA controller. Try to look in your BIOS for disabling native sata support first so you don't need any drivers if you wanna run XP only. If your BIOS doesn't offer this or you want to dual boot with vista already installed in ahci mode, you need drivers for XP. Look up my other post how to get it from intel.com if you have intel controller.

THIS ONLY WORKS WITH A DESKTOP COMPUTER
Ok, here is a trick I learned the other day while installing Windows XP with a SATA hard drive and CD/DVD. What you have to do is get a IDE CD drive install it. Run the windows set up and it will work fine. No need to install 3rd party raid drivers. Once you have installed windows xp successfully. Run the drivers cd that came with the new motherboard. Then shutdown your computer and install the SATA cd/dvd drive back in and it will work perfect. I have done this several times and each time has worked.
RECAP:
1. Take out SATA CD drive and Install IDE CD drive.
2. Run Windows XP from the IDE drive and install it on the SATA hard drive.
3. Once inside windows run the drivers & utilities cd that came with the new motherboard. And install all drivers needed.
4. Shutdown the computer and install the new SATA cd/dvd drive back into the system.
5. You're done!

Hi, I am trying to install xp professional on my HP Pavillion a6123w desktop computer, which came with vista home premium pre - installed. I went through the xp set up process until i got a "disk read error". Now I'm stuck here without the ability to boot back into vista. My chipset is NVIDIA nForce 430 and my processor is an AMD Athlon 64 X2. I found the chipset drivers for XP (at least I think I did). What should I do? Should I try to reinstall vista first so that I can create the slipstreamed xp install disk? How do I integrate the drivers I got from NVIDIA onto the xp install disk? Do I just run through the tutorial above or must I do something extra like Reply #26.1 details with the intel chipset. I need some help badly, thanks so much!!

I need to make this work for me but When I download the nlite.exe,
I cannot even execute it. The system says the file is corrupted! I have net.framework 2.0 - Would appreciate some help,

I notice that the webpage Soft... states that net framework 1.1 is
required - not 2.0. Could this be the problem?

This solution is amazing. I had two computers to build for a client, and the client order computers from his supplier that neither had floppy drives, nor would support an external USB floppy drive until the OS was installed. Installed Windows XP Pro perfectly on a RAID 5 based system!!!
This utility is a true keeper.
Thank you!

I have tried this several times now with no success and am getting fed up making coasters.
The problem is that, although I have integrated the RAID and SATA drivers into the image, and then burned it to DVD, the windows setup still doesn't recognize my SATA drive and reports no HDDs present.
If I connect my RAID array with vista installed, the drive appears fine. I then disconnect these and leave only my alternative SATA drive connected and XP 64 does not see it.
Now i get an error every time I run Nlite, saying that "The process cannot access the file 'G:XP filesusbport.sys' because it is being used by another process". This happens even when I cam creating the disc image, so nothing else can be using it!

I did as instructions required however, my xp pro disc (fully legal) did not recognize the SATA hard drive still.
I am using a compaq presario desktop w/ a 160 gb SATA 3.0gb/s, and I bought this computer which did not come with a vista re-install disc, or any driver cd's. If somebody could help me find the drivers required for this it would be much appreciated, and as far as the BIOS settings go, should I have sata enabled, or use RAID or what? Thank you!

I also tried your solution but this is not working for me. I am having Intel 945GCNL mother board with core 2 duo E4500 2.2 Ghz processor and seegate 250 GB harddisk. I did the same as you explained in your article, but it is not working. It is still unable to find SATA drivers. Please help me. Also giving an error of "pci.sys..."

I have brought Toshiba l40 18w notebook. I have tried your method of using nlite and creating a new CD. But still i am unable to make it run. Can you please provide me the correct driver for the same and the procedure
|
Reply #72.1 by Baganont on 2008-04-27, 09:32 GMT | | You got the driver on the toshiba web page. Flip down your laptop and see the marking in the middle right. Then in the download selection find the sata driver (AHCI HDD drivers ICH8M_32bit on the search). That worked for me . I hope it will help you

I have install N Lite and i want to integrate the Intel SATA driver into the windows XP SP2 cd so that it can recognise my SATA hardisk.
But In Nlite it cannot integrate the Intel SATA driver into it. It cannot recognise the EXE file. It can only recognise inf file.
pls advise me what to do.
Thanks.

Nice work! But what to do if the sistem (like HP 6820) need
Intel Matrix Storage Manager, before sata driver?
|
Reply #74.1 by Jason on 2008-05-07, 18:52 GMT | | Works flawless as well, for the gentleman that asked about the HP/Intel Matrix drivers being in a .exe file all you have to do is run the .exe file and you should end up with the drivers on your C: drive somewhere similar to here:C:swsetupSP38088Files32 (this is for a HP Pavilion dv6814ca Notebook PC that is now installing XP).

This method works, but make sure you check your BIOS before doing all this. I nhad the problem where win xp c did not see my sata drive either, but i went into the bios and changed my sata mode from RAID to IDE, and it make the sata drive appear as an IDE drive. Now xp cd see's it without an issue.

Worked a treat with an Acer AM5620 and the dreaded Vista. Was able to get XP on with no problems after your instructions ;-)
