How to Install Windows XP on sata hdd without a floppy.
Hello,
The main big problem to start installing Windows XP on a new notebook is the SATA Hard Drive that comes with it has not built-in drivers, we have to add them via floppy, but in the most of cases, we won have a floppy able to mount into the laptop, so, what we do?
We have to integrated sata drivers into xp cd. Otherwise, our notebook could not recognize our hdd and we cant install xp.
What we need?
- 1pcs empty cd. Use rewritable if possible.
- Sata drivers. You can download it from here.(zip pass is “www.notebook.gen.tr”)Note: If you will use windows xp 64 bit version you must download this. Sata drivers for windows xp 64bit.
- Microsoft .net framework. you can download it from here.
- A software which called Nlite. You can download nlite from here.
Please follow my instructions carefully.
-
Download an unzip sata drivers a folder. (My folders name is sata drivers)nbsp;
- Create a folder somewhere on your hard drive to copy the windows source files into. I called mine XP_Source but you can use whatever name you prefer. Just make sure there is adequate space on your hard drive to hold the files.
- Copy the full content from the distribution cd into this folder
- Start nLite.
- Welcome screen shows you which version of nLite you are running and allows you to choose an alternate language. To continue click on Next.
- We must now direct nLite to the folder which contains the windows installation files.
To do this Click on Browse. And choose Xp_Source folder. Click next.
- Click next without doing anythink.
- Chose driver and bootable ISO by mouse and click next.
- Click insert single driver and choose iaachi.inf from you sata driver folder.
- Select all drivers with shift or ctrl button and click OK an Next.
- You will show a message “Do yo want to start the process”. Click Yes and wait.
- Click next.
- Mode: Direct burn , Label: write your own label , Burn speed: Write slowly 10x is enough. Then click next and finish.

Great tips- however, I found that I could not use the SATA drivers you provided- I had to find them on my laptop manufacturer’s website (Toshiba in my case).
Other than that, your instructions worked to a T. Thanks much!
