question about backups and restore

[bword]

Is the cd of xp you are using the one that came with that pc?

If not, it may not have the sata drivers for that pc.

You will need to download the sata driver for that model of laptop. Then use nlite to slipstream in those sata drivers which will result in a new iso for you to burn. You will now have an xp disk which has the sata drivers for that nodel of laptop and if the hdd is ok, it should be available to install xp onto.

im learning the nlite program right now. My question is when you want you install the driver for hdd is that where I would hit f6 during the install process? Im currently searching for the drivers right now to add to nlite.
