    Well, this seems to be quite complex actually, I wish the explanations were more geared towards a more generic approach, not a specific example. I did, however, try to slipstream the drivers using nLite, and they did not seem to work.

    Interesting to note that pressing F6 during installation did not seem to work at all, computer does not respond to that command at all. Only halfway through the loading of the drivers if finally notifies me that I do not have hard drive that they could recognize.
