    the main reason for opening this thread is to know whether there r any other easier ways or not..and to know about the driver related problems on sata disks which vary by models..eg dv-nx

    Computers are computers. Read the stickies before you post next time.

    There's no easier way to install XP. If you can't handle slipstreaming SATA drivers, you shouldn't be installing XP in the first place. Find your drivers first, if you can't find them, then don't install XP.
