4) Click Next.

5) Choose your Windows XP image folder, & Click Next, than OK.
Note: nLite will put the image into your folder.

6) Click Next.

7) Click Next.

8) Choose Integrate Drivers & Create Bootable ISO

9) Click Next.

10) Copy & Paste your Sata Driver to your image folder.
Note: for this example, I am using Promise Fastrak 376.

Thanks so much, theog.

This is valuable help now that XP installer no longer can keep up with SATA drives.

The use of screenshots is also far beyond anything else out there on the web for this.

Will be giving this out several times per week, I'm sure.

Hello,
I have a pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium crate, but need XP to run my favourite apps. I have tried to make a new bootable disk with the SATA drivers included, but keep getting ''iastor.sys is corrupt''. I believe I've done everything that can be done, so don't know where to go from here.
I have tried to use 'R245418' driver from Dell in bembeded in nLite ISO. I selected 'Intel ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/DO/5 SERIES/3400 SERIES' when presented with the option because that's what is in 'Manage/Device Manager/Storage Controller'.
Once I've made and burnt my new XP ISO, I try to install on my already 'shrunk' partition and I get past the F6 option then, 'iastor.sys is corrupt'.

Please, any help?
