    Hi everybody, I have a Vaio VGN-FE660G with preinstalled Windows MCE. I am trying to rid of the preinstall OS and made a fresh new installation og Windows XP pro retail. I am trying to use nLite to slipstream the drivers but I do not find them. I contacted VAIO SUPPORT and they said I cannot install windows XP pro in this laptop. Can anybody suggest me a guide to create a bootable Windows XP pro with integrated all the drivers I need to make it work?

    I am adding the EVEREST report for the preinstalled OS

    thank you
