Problems installing XP pro on a toshiba equium because no hardisk
then we have to make a custom XP disk with the sata drivers slipstreamed in
as you have no floppy and you cant switch the drive to standard ATA in the bios because its not in the bios!
so you to download nlite here
and download the sata drivers here
Install nlite / run nlite
Put in standard XP home disk – and tell nlite thats were the install files are
Then create a empty folder and select that for the destination
Select the driver option and create iso option
it then will ask you for the driver location you can select single file of folder
if you unzip the driver ive attached and just select the folder then click next
it will then ask were you want the ISO or burn direct to a cd
I just made the ISO on my usb drive as i was in a virtualbox on my mac
I then burnt the ISO with burn on the mac
Now ive got sata during the install
Make sure you keep and disks you get when you buy a new computer
Usually drivers are built into the restore disks which can save loads of hassle.
