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 doesnt have the setting for Harddisk in BIOS. What I mean is, we cant change the setting from AHCI to ATA in your BIOS setting page( This is done to make sure the Blue Screen doesnt 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 doesnt 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 dont use .iso or any type of image file)


2) A software called nLite.

3) Extracted SATA driver for windows XP.
