SATA Drivers - Slipstream into Windows XP CD

How to slipstream SATA drivers into Windows XP setup CD, on your dual boot PC with Windows 7 or Vista​

When you install Win XP, setup can not find your Hard Drive.






1) Download & Install nLite
nLite - Deployment Tool for the bootable Unattended Windows installation

2) Make a new folder for your Windows XP image.
Note: for this example, I am using the name Win XP Sata.

3) Insert XP CD & start nLite

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.



11) Click Insect, than Single Driver.

12) Locate your Sata Setup Inf file.
Click Open, than OK.
Note: for this example the file is called fasttx2k.
Note: for this example, I am using Promise Fastrak 376.

13) Click Next.

14) Click Yes, than Next.

15) Choose Direct Burn.
Click Burn, than Yes.
Note: nLite will now burn your new CD.

16) Click Next.

17) Click Finish.

Your Sata drive will now show up in setup.

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.

Studio XPS 8100 iastor issue

Hello,
I have a pre-installed Win7 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?

Theog,
Thanks for your advice, it pointed me in the right direction. I was definately selecting the wrong driver. My install got further than it ever had previously (day 3).
Tried again, didn't work, but it turns out I overlooked a few things (duh), forgot to 'slip' service pack 2.
Can't connect to the net on my XP though for some reason, thinking I need 32bit drivers or something.

Mate, thanks very much for you assistance, literally wouldn't have done it without ya!

Cheers!

Need some help

Hi guys,

I've been reading the forums the whole day on how to make my NEO B3230 a dual boot and I'm stuck with trying to Slipstream a SATA driver in my setup CD. Basically, the problem is that I couldn't find which driver I should download. I've been searching for the right driver and its been a headache. Anyway, here are the specs:

Pre-installed OS: Windows 7 Starter
Desired secondary OS: Windows XP Pro SP3
Processor: Intel Atom N450
Core Logic (I don't know if this will help): INtel NM10 Express Chipset
HDD: 320GB SATA (partitioned into 5 parts)

Hope anybody here could help me. I need it badly.

Cheers!

Thanks so muc, Theog!

I downloaded this

Confirm Download

I've got a problem with the setup though. I've tried hitting F6 during my setup but that doesn't work. Do you know any alternative key (keys) to hit so that this will work? I've tried it countless times and it doesn't work.

I also got another problem when slipstreaming my downloaded driver into my setup cd. I don't know which .inf file to use since there are two (I used iaStor.inf). Also I don't know which driver integration option to pick. There are also two options here (Regular PNP driver and Textmode driver). If I choose Textmode driver I get to have a lot of Textmode integration options to choose from which I don't really know which one to choose. So, I just selected regular PNP driver instead.

Let me know your thoughts. Refer to screenshots:



Thanks!
