Options:
A) If you don't have Floppy Disk Drive especially on a notebook. You still can install Win Xp but you need to read the "Slipstreaming SATA driver into WinXp boot cd using nLite".
B) If you have FD drive, skip this step and go to "Shrink Vista Partition for WinXp Installation".
C) If you have an empty partition for WinXp installation, proceed to "WinXp Installation"
Materials needed:
1) nLite(download here), a free tool to help you slipstreaming(integrate) your SATA drivers into WinXp installation disk.
2) Extracted SATA drivers(if you are using Intel chipset Intel 82801GR/GH, 631xESB/632xESB, 82801GHM, ICH8R/ICH9R, 82801HEM SATA RAID Controller, get the drivers from here)
Steps:
1) Get your Windows XP installation disk and copy the contents to a new folder(I named it "WinXp").
2) Extract the SATA drivers you downloaded into a folder, namely "Floppy 32Bit". (Need help for "Extracting SATA driver from their EXE without Floppy Disk(FD)")
3) Run nLite->choose "Next".
4) Now, locate the Windows folder(for me, it's "WinXp").
5) Next again and you will come to "Presets". Ignore this by choosing "Next" again.
6) In "Task Selection", choose "Drivers" and "Bootable ISO" by high-lighting them.
7) Choose "Insert"->"Single driver"
8) Browse to the SATA driver folder(I named it "Floppy 32Bit") and select either one of the .INF file, I choose "iaahci.inf".
9) A screen like below will pop-up, make sure it's "Textmode driver" and select all of them by holding CTRL+A key and choose "OK"
10) You shall see something like this. Choose "Next" and you will be prompted.
11) Choose "Yes" to start the process.
12) Let it finish and choose "Next".
13) Finally, you can create your project as ISO image or burn it directly to CD-R under "Mode". I choose "Direct Burn". You can put anything for "Label" but not too long. Choose "Burn" and you will be prompted again.
14) Choose "Yes" to burn it to CD-R. Wait for it to finish and choose "Next"
15) Choose "Finish" to exit nLite.
Proceed to?
A) Go to "Shrink Vista Partition for WinXp Installation" if you don't have any partition to use.
B) If you have an empty partition for WinXp installation, proceed to "WinXp Installation"

Hey Max. I really appreciate for this guide! it HELPs me. really
hey bro!!
saw ur blog on Lia's page!! wow!! hahah... nice start!! good to have you here!!
Hey, I was trying to slipstream my WinXP installation with SATA drivers as well. As I read through this article, I've done some research myself. Hence I'd like to help you add that there's also a utility on Intel's website that will determine the computer's chipset to confirm the compatibility of the SATA drivers described in this article.
The link is as follows:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProductID=2115&DwnldID=15660&strOSs=All&OSFullName=All%20Operating%20Systems&lang=eng
Thank you for the screen shot complete tutorial, while I consider myself an advanced computer user I always prefer reading clear easy to follow instructions. I really appreciate the time you took to put this together.
Extremely helpful. Thank you, I really appreciate it.
hey guys you mean if i run the WinXp it support the SATA now? Because i encounter problem when i format my Compaq Presario 1285TU laptop with Vista Basic OS. When i boot from CD and choose what drive will i format there is a error that pissed me off. it says No hard drive found something like that. Is my problem support this CD? But nice guide. Thanks
The really important point is that the driver must show up as text mode - for my ASUS K8V with VIA RAID controller, the driver did not show up as text only but only PnP, and Windows setup did not find disks unless I used F6+diskette but it did install correctly after that. In the directory above the driver was a TXTSETUP.OEM. I copied that down into the dir with the INF and then when I slipstreamed install using nLite, I was offered the Text-mode choice which eliminated the need for the diskette.
Thnx, succeeded slipstream it helped solve my prob, hv a question? Can we multiple slipstream SATA drivers into 1 WinXp installation disk, i.e 2 or 3 or more Intel or other board drivers in 1 xp cd
Thank you for the guide. I was having no luck loading SATA drivers during a Windows XP install using a USB floppy drive. I used your guide to slipstream the drivers onto an XP disc and it worked beautifully.
Thanks dude..
Thank you very much Max! As I type I am reverting the wifes laptop from Vista to XP! (XP is coping the setup files!)
oh thank you very much Sir! I've managed to make my very own Windows XP SP2 for my new vostro 1200.
Thanks! Good guide. I rebuilt XP-64 for a new computer (missing SATA RAID drivers originally).
However, I had to use 64-bit floppy utility that can be downloaded here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProductID=2101&DwnldID=16760&strOSs=109&OSFullName=Windows*%20XP%20Professional%20x64%20Edition&lang=eng
Or, here is the generic web-site, where OS can be chosen:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2101
Funny enough, for 64-bit XP, there is no need for WinImage as wehn the f6flpy64.zip is extracted it already contains files in the appropriate form.
Thx Great job but i'm affraid to try it you know in case of some damage ??
Wish me good luck
Once again ty
So much easier than a lot of other methods I've seen online. Haven't used nLite for a good while but now I think I'm gonna have to start using it again.
Hi I need to find the sata drivers for my esystem EI3103. I was using my laptop and when I closed all my applications, i went away and when I came back it had a black screen with Operating system not found. Wow. nice way to start a day eh? Please help me if you can
thanks
william
nice guide for extracting these files.
I'm planning to buy a portable floppy drive and would like to give up until i found out these guide.
Thanks a lot.
thanks a lot man...really appreciate wat u r doing :-)
Hey Max, this is a good tutorial. But I have some issue here. When I slipstream the sata driver and create an iso that iso is not bootable anymore. It is having the setup and everything but it is not bootable.
you are the bomb. thanks greatly, truly appreciate the smiles you put on my face. God bless you. Jesus Loves you.
Hello friends,
I have bought the Compaq Presario CQ45-112AU laptop but i couldn't able to install windows xp.
I have tried integrating the AMD SATA controller to the windows xp and installing it. But it didn't work for me. It gave me some kind of error saying "ahcix64.sys is corrupted". I tried all the SATA drivers which i found here:

Hello everyone,
I have finelly successfully installed XP on Toshiba A205-S5831 laptop using "nLite" with integraded "Intel Matrix Storage drivers for SATA HDD" and here is the xp drivers link: http://rapidshare.com/files/188975089/Toshiba_A205-S5831_Drivers_For_XP.zip
when you gonna integrade the drivers, make sure that you add as: Insert > Single Driver > iaAHCI.inf and open. then shoose "textmode driver" (not regular PNP driver or you will end up with blue screen). then you can choose your laptop chipsen, (if you don't know which chipset, choose all, CTRL + A) and hit ok. then burn it again on regular cd and now xp setup should detect the SATA hard drive and proceed with installation.
Good luck
Thanks Very Much Bro.........

I have bought the Compaq Presario CQ45-112AU laptop but i couldn't able to install windows xp.
I have tried integrating the AMD SATA controller to the windows xp and installing it. But it didn't work for me. It gave me some kind of error saying "ahcix64.sys is missing". i used n lite for slipstreaming. plz help.
Hi there,
Here is the small instructionsI for how to have successfully downgraded slow Vista to Fast XP using "nLite".
First of all you need the right XP Drivers for your Toshiba A205-S5831. you can download them from: http://rapidshare.com/files/188975089/Toshiba_A205-S5831_Drivers_For_XP.zip
Now you need the so called "nLite", a small utility to modify, add changes, add drivers, etc to your original XP CD. in this case you have to integrade the "Intel Matrix Storage driver for your SATA HDD of the notebook".
you can download it from: http://www.nliteos.com/download.html
now you have to add Hard Disk drivers to your original XP CD. this is needed in order to let the xp installation setup recognize the notebook SATA Hard Disk Drive. to do that simple follow the screen in "nLite" and on the "Add Drivers" tab click on the "ADD"
then choose: Insert > Single Driver > iaAHCI.inf and open. (when you gonna integrade the drivers, make sure that you add it as "textmode driver" not as regular PNP driver or you will end up with blue screen). choose "textmode driver". then you can choose your laptop chipset, (if you don't know which chipset, choose all, CTRL + A) and hit ok. then burn it again on regular cd and now xp setup should detect the SATA hard drive and proceed with installation.
Good luck
Hi there Max,
I am so grateful to your web blog, i work fulltime as a computer tech, and this one had me stumped, the fact is that for whatever reason Win xp pro service pack 3 is not viable for downgrade, on dv5 laptops. havent tried it on toshibas, though they usually come with xp disks anyway.
Thanks again for sharing this information, you have made me one very happy tech.
Tony
Thanks for this easy to use guide! I wanted to do a re-install on my home XP but couldn't get the disks to recognize the drive.
I'm burning the CD now at work, and hopefully it will work when I get home!
Cheers dude! Didnt have a floppy (or drive!) spare, so did this for the first time. Hopefully the SATA drivers I downloaded from Asus "Sata Driver Disk" are OK.
hey thanks for the guide
I am using Compaq Presario CQ45-112AU, but i am unable to find sata drivers for it.... please help

I have successfully created XP SP3 CD with SATA drivers using nLite. Thanx for the wonderful guidance. I had a clean install of XP on my Pavillion DV 5 1116em, removing pre-installed Vista. Everything was fine till the installation was finished and windows rebooted. There was blue screen of death for a while and then black screen, rebooting again and again with same blue screen. I have the Intel chipset driver in my USB Flash Drive and I don’t know how to install it when the system is not booting. Do I have to re-install the system again??
Please guide me how to put the chipset and other drivers (exe files) from USB drives during installation.
Thanks.
I cannot thank you enough! you rock the most *bow*
very very usefull
thanks max

Thank and thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks! This guide is very helpful! I finally managed to install WinXP on my new Acer laptop,
awsome explanaitation very gooddddddddddddddddd brother
Good clean process and screen shots - best I've seen on the web recently. I used nLite myself to slipstream XP SP3 along with SATA drivers and Realtek LAN to downgrade a Toshiba X205-SL1 from Vista to XP. Screaming machine now!!
As one who often helps people rebuild machines to which they no longer have the drivers, I highly recommend DriverAgent.com. $20 is well worth the point and click download for unresolved drivers in hardware manager.
Have fun everyone!!
This is an Excellent Tuts. Great work :)
WOW thanks a lot dude its working thanks thnxxxxx a lot..........:)
I LOVE YOU!!! You made it possible for me to install old XP Pro (sp1) on my dv9640us!!! Slipstreaming rules!!!
Max, thanks for the tip. It works.
Worked perfectly, thank you very much.
OMG
This is the best post I've ever seen. It gave me all I wanted
Thanks trillion times for sharing you knowledge with everyone
Take care
Thanks for the info, but when I tried doing the exact same thing, nlite added a huge number of files onto my "winxp" directory (where I copied the windows xp disk to), growing it into a size larger than 3GB! I googled around, but can't find a clear solution. Can anyone help me out here?
Hey Max or anyone that can help me pls. I got HP Pavillion Dv6000 That ma friend gave it has an Windows 7 installed ins-ted of a vista.

Hats of to u dude for sharing ur precious knowledge. I have one question : I want to retain my win 7 (32) and Install XP on another drive..so is it possible ? plz help me out :-) thanks
You totally rock! It would have been a huge PIA to reinstall Win XP without nLite and your great guide.
The install wouldn't recognize my USB floppy drives & nLite rocked it, allowing me to get my laptop to load with SATA drivers. Woohoo!
Thanks A lot....I tried it and it is working perfectly.
Rgards,
Faisal
Hey Boss,
Brilliant work...
Thanks a million..
Man. If this guy was in front of me I would kiss him. Not only did I finally get past the Blue Screen thanks to him I have a better understanding of nLite as well. The tutorial is awesome!!! Thank you so much. You just saved me about $600 or more in studio programs. All are for XP.
