Windows XP on Sata hd

[WhDemon]

Ive found some tutorials use nLite to put the drivers with windows Xp then burn it as a Booting ISO. The problem is, where can I find the drivers ? which one ?

Also, can I use a dvd to install Win Xp ?

How old is the XP version?

You would likely get the drivers for your controller from your chipset maker or your motherboard maker. nLite will handle the rest. This is, of course, if you actual need them. I've never needed them for Intel chipsets, and I don't use anything AMD-compatible, so I wouldn't know which need drivers and which don't. Also, make sure your BIOS is set to use native mode for the controller, and not AHCI.

What motherboard do you have? 99.999% of the time you will find SATA drivers from your motherboard manufactuer's website, unless you use a third party SATA controller, then check theirs.

That's why I suggested the chipset manufacturer's website as well.

maybe the first thing you should try is seeing if your XP CD will see the HDD

Yes, you can use a DVD. I did after setting nLite to create an ISO then used ImgBurn to burn it to a DVD.

I wrote a guide in the past (yes, it's long, yes, it's very wordy, yes, some people just don't get it but the several hundred people that sent emails thanking me for writing it makes up for that...) to help teach people how to integrate SATA drivers into an XP installation CD, and you can find it here:

If you need assistance, just ask.
