    im running the HP xp recovery disk and it seeem to be working, but says about 7 hrs to complete.

    problem or normal?

    I read all the guides here, but am still a bit confused.

    I slipstreamed SATA drivers into Xp disk, but when I tried to install it gave a message about looking at a sector, and was stuck there forever. I finally rebooted and shut of the NATIVE SATA in the bios, then ran install again.

    So XP installs and boots, and SATA driver is installed, but if I switch NATIVE on now in bios, then BSOD on next boot.

    UPDATE: Seems the best way for me is to leave SATA enabled in bios, slipstream SATA into XP and reinstall. I used an XPSP2 disk. I tried the other methods fist, and this is the only one that worked for me, and it's perfect now.

    ***********************************************
    ALSO

    I slipstreamed SATA and some other drivers and my laptop boots and all, but XP has a YELLOW! and unknown device says:

    Device Type: Other Debvices
    Manufacturer: Unknwon
    Location: on Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interfac

    Did I miss a driver? Which one?
    (hp v6000t)

    UPDATE: Solution below in my next email.

    Sounds like you basically burned a bad ISO, or the slimstreaming didn't go off well. Did you use nLite or did you slipstream by hand?
