    I've been reading around but I cannot figure out how to slipstream the sata drivers onto my Windows XP Pro CD.

    I cannot find the sata drivers I need.

    Specs
    Sony VGN-FZ430E
    Core 2 Duo 1.83GHZ
    3.00GB RAM
    250GB HDD

    I would greatly appreciate some help.

    I've installed XP Pro now I need drivers that work in XP Pro.

    first of all, you should go to Device Manager to find what SATA device in your Laptop. it probably is either Mobile ICH8M or ICH9M. and write down any other important devices' names & model, eg. chipest, video card, sould card....so that you can use it to search xp drivers from Google or manufacturer's Websites.

    for slipstreaming the sata drivers into Xp cd, you can see the link below for reference. that is not hard to do that, just read carefully and follow its instruction step by step, once you done it first time, you can easy to do it by yourself, even do not read it anymore.
