    I'm trying to install windows XP Pro 32-Bit on an hp notebook (dv7-3160us) but am getting the blue screen of death. I've tried to use nLite following other threads but none of the sata drivers are working for me. Any help is appreciated.

    New HP notebooks have new hardwareIDs, unfortunately, none were released in AMD sata driver.

    Try using the attachment file, some new HardwareID have been added.
