    Anyone had trouble making slipstreamed CD bootable?

    Having little issues with my G1s slipstreaming process (at 10th CD now). For some reason, none of my slipstreamed CDs boot by themselves at startup.

    After much research in the forums, I found out that I'm only supposed to slipstream one driver "iaahci.inf" with the controller selected "Intel(R) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller" as Text Driver. However, my last attempt of doing this resulted in the same thing as all the ones before and CD not booting into Windows XP setup.

    I am able to go into windows xp setup using my original windows xp cd though. I even tried to play sneaky and as soon as setup started loading using my original CD, I switched the CDs to the slipstreamed one...but after doing all its mumbo jumbo of loading drivers...it still didn't detect my hard drive. Any ideas? Thanks.
