Slipstreaming SATA Driver to Windows XP CD

This guide already posted on many blog( i think ), but I still want to post this topic in case somebody still want to know how to do it.

This guide not necessarily only for Compact CQ40, it also may work on Laptop that doesn't have the setting for Harddisk in BIOS. What I mean is, we can't change the setting from AHCI to ATA in your BIOS setting page( This is done to make sure the Blue Screen doesn't come up when you try to install windows XP ). Thats why we need to slipstream the SATA HDD driver to the windows XP installation file so that the Blue Screen doesn't popup.  

Requirement :
1) A copy of Windows XP SP2 ( If possible ) = Put it into a new folder on your desktop. (easy to browse and please don't use .iso or any type of image file)


2) A software called nLite.

3) Extracted SATA driver for windows XP.
