SATA Drivers - Slipstream into Windows XP CD

King Drax I said:

Good points - thanks! Yes, it's an MSI CR-620

MSI CR-620 Win XP drivers can be download from here:
MSI Global - Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more

Your Intel F6 drivers can be download from Intel.

You will most likely find the Win XP drivers on the Drivers & App disk.

Another idea that occurs to me is this: can I install the XP OS on an external caddy USB hard drive (I have a 100Gb one going spare) and then clone that to the partition I have ready for the XP installation on my Windows 7 HDD?

NO, you can not use USB HD drive.

Ok I have the f6flyp3289.zip and I have unzipped the files.

I have run nlite and created a folder on my desktop (XPR) to which nlite has copied the WinXP master CD. I have created a folder in the XPR folder, and have included both the iastor.inf and iastor.sys in a folder in that directory called 'microstar'. When nlite asks me to point to the .inf file, I point it to that one and it runs and burns the CD.

Was that correct to do it that way, or should I have copied the entire contents of the F6 floppy zip file to the folder?

Booting from the new nlite Windows CD still produces a STOP error. This is getting really frustrating; is it really possible to actually run a 32-bit and a 64-bit OS on the same machine?

One other thing is that I have removed the Intel IMSM system from my machine using Add/Remove Programs. The IMSM system will now no longer install from the apps CD that came with the computer. I removed it because I wanted to simplify the problem: IMSM is as far as I know a RAID system so I wanted to remove the necessity for an XP RAID driver. If I have sinned then please forgive me

Take a look at step 11.(option Multple Drivers)

Choose both setup inf files.
Choose all drivers.
Choose all sata controllers.

Hehe well I not only copied in the items you suggested, I copied in the entire contents of the F6 folder into the drivers folder and referenceed them as you suggested.

The boot disk then worked and I have installed XP successfully.

Now I have problems getting the boot menu to fire up, but that's a thread for the other forum (Dual Boot Installation)

Thanks for your help, everyone who has contributed. I'm nearly there :)

Take a look at Method two Step 6 onward in Dual Boot Installation.

Hi :) I followed the installation, but with these drivers:
Fasttrak 376/378 Windows 7 driver (help)During the Windows XP Setup, this Bluescreen shwos up, where the HD-Select screen should come:


Has anybody an idea what could be the problem?

Do you have a Fastrak Sata Controller on the MOBO??????????

For better help with problems, Can you post your specs.

Dont Know What Hardware You Have..??

Man how stupid am I xD
No, I simply didn't realize I needed drivers fitting my hardware. I filled out my specs now.
So I have to take the correct drivers, but I don't know how to find them.

First check for all the Win XP drivers for your hardware on the manufacturer's web site.
ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS P7P55-M
If your Win XP CD, does not support your Sata Controller, you will need to load drivers to uses at F6.
Load Sata Controller drivers with a floppy disk is the best way.
SATA Drivers - Load in Windows XP Setup on Dual Boot
OR
SATA Drivers - Slipstream into Windows XP CD
Your Asus has a Intel Sata Controller.
You can download your F6 Sata Controller drivers from here:
F6 Intel Sata Controller

You need to start a fresh.

Take a look at step 11.(option Multple Drivers)

Choose both setup inf files.
Choose all drivers.
Choose all sata controllers.

I don't have a floppy drive, so I'll try and integrate them in a CD with nLite again, the ones I found on the ASUSTEK Website. Will that work?
