The thing came installed with xp on it, but all the crap that is pre loaded onto it... ugh I hate buying premanufactured pc's. The thing is slow now so I would like to start fresh. I have a usb dvd drive, and my xp home cd bluescreens when it tries to load. my xp pro cd is fine but it says 'setup cannot find any hard drives installed in this pc'
I have tried using Nlite to integrate SATA drivers into the disk (I have a feeling that the disk is to old to recognize the sata controller in the pc), but the modified disk doesnt say 'press any key to boot from cd' it just goes to normal windows load.
Windows 7 does detect the drives, but the pc is under powered... intel atom (1.6ghz), 1 gig ram... not gonna work so well, eh... I did xp's install through the current xp install, but when I choose to boot 'windows xp home setup' it says 'error reading from disk'.
wtc do I do -_- the tech support guy from hp said 'oh well to install an OS onto an hp computer you need to buy our special disk'
last ideas I have - trying to use Nlite again, or connecting a floppy disk through USB to put the drivers on a floppy and load that... nevermind I dont have a USB floppy >_>
Edit - Burned the img with ImgBurn rather than Nlite directly, and it works! Formatting the hard drive, lets see how the install goes. Case closed for now, I think
Processing with nLite: Open nLite and do what you want, but you must choose the button 'Integrate Drivers'. During the 'Integrate Drivers' part of nLite you have to integrate your just prepared nVRaid driver subfolder (LEGACY or SATARAID depending on your driver choice and preparation) as textmode drivers.

Ok I am at the end of ideas. I have a Compaq mini 110c (netbook), and cant for the LIFE of me figure out how to install xp onto it. Ive tried many ideas and methods and cant get a single one to work.
