    Hi. I am going to install XP on a new dell 1525 inspiron.
    I think I need to use Nlite ...
    after downloading the dell sata drivers for XP I tried to integrated it on Nlite...
    But I need to choose which driver to integrate... can you help me?
    I don't know which one to use... (I added picture...)

    Do I need to integrate more drivers (or can I do it after the installation...?)

    what else I need to know?

    thank you all...
    :confused:

    Inspiron 1525 or Studio?
    Either way, ICH8M-E/M I believe (SATA AHCI)
    I'm pretty sure they are both using the 965 mobile chipset with an ICH8M southbridge... correct me if I am wrong.

    Do not integrate any other drivers, it can cause issues.

    Inspirion....
    Are you sure about the ICH8M-E/M?
    Any other issues should bother me?

    thank you.

    I am positive on the Inspiron. It was the studio I was unsure of, but I looked it up and I am correct. Same chipsets.
    Any other issues? Well, have you ever reloaded a computer before? If so, this is going to be no different.

    I mean issues with other drivers...
    should I integrate all the drivers with NLITE before installing XP or can I do it after the installation?
    otherwise, what drivers will it install?

    thank you again...
    :)

    (can you take a look at the picture i attached? I dont want to make mistakes...)

    Does it do any harm if you selected all of them?

    Yes, that is the right driver. If you wanted to integrate drivers for other devices, that would be okay. It will do harm if you integrate all of them because the Windows installer will not know which to use.
