    Good Afternoon Everyone,

    I have a new Qosmio G50 and am frustrated with Vista. I want to load XP 32 on the system. Here's the configuration info:

    Model Name: Qosmio G50
    Part Number: PQG55C-01R039
    OS Version: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1
    BIOS Version: Version 1.90
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7350 @ 2.00GHz
    IDE Controlr: Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
    IDE Device: FUJITSU MHZ2320BH G1

    I downloaded the SATA driver from here: "Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller\"

    The driver info indicated it does support the "Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller"...

    I'm using a Windows XP Corporate CD with SP3 slipstreamed into it. I've copied the SATA drivers to a Floppy and am using the F6 option to load the SATA drivers. At the F6 screen promt I select the right driver and then Windows Xp continues to load the rest of the drivers. When copying of the drivers is finished and then the screen says 'Preparing to Start Windows' - that's when the BSOD error appears??

    Stop: 0x0000007B (0XF78D2524M, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

    Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong??? I believe I've downloaded the correct SATA Driver? If not could someone point me to the right one...

    Please and Thank You...

    Well - I've figured it out, with some help from the guys at MSFN ...

    No matter how many tries I made using different drivers for the Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller I always failed. Turns out all you need to do is integrate the driver into an XP disk using nlite and voila,

    XP on a Qosmio G50 / G55
