Guest Calab Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 I have a copy of my XP MediaCentre installation discs on a USB drive. I can boot from the drive and install XP. I'd like to include my SATA drivers on the stick so Windows will automatically use them during setup. Where can I copy the driver files into the Windows install disc file tree?

There are several programs that allow you to slipstream (or insert) SP2 or SP3 or applications or drivers (or all of the above) into an XP CD. The details are way to complex and vary from product to product. Nlite is one that I played with but never used. There are others and each has it following and features.

It allows you to add service packs, drivers, and such and also to remove items you don't want. You can also add the information for unattended installations. I write the resulting install image to an ISO file and then burn it to the media. John McGaw http://johnmcgaw.com
