    Hey..so I'm eagerly awaiting my recently ordered SR590 CTO. When I get it, I'm going to dual boot Windows 2000 SP4 & Windows 7. I want to prepare a slipstreamed Win2000 SP4 CD with a SATA driver. Does anyone know which one I should use? Would the one that Sony provides for XP do the trick? Or should I go with a 3rd party driver like Universal ATA?

    Anybody have experiences with this? I really need to be able to use Win2000 on my new Vaio, not XP.

    You can use the one Sony provides or download the newest SATA driver from Intel.
