| 607626 | 2007-11-02 07:21:00 | Apparently you can use the xp install setup with a sata hard drive if your BIOS has an option to emulate an IDE drive - not by simply doing a disable of the sata | bevy121 (117) | ||

I dont think it accepts exe or zip files (unless it changed from when I used it last). I think you can add hotfixes / patches to it too, then burn the lot to cd. |

| 607633 | 2007-11-03 02:16:00 | used nlite to put sata driver into the disk it found it because now windows install can see the hard disk. The thing is after the welcome screen when i press enter it just goes to another blue screen with a bit down the bottom that says examining... i have no idea | hayesanator (12993) | ||
| 607634 | 2007-11-03 02:19:00 | Just wait for it to get to the install screen (if it does) and follow what it says. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 607635 | 2007-11-03 02:41:00 | yeh the thing is it goes to the welcome screen then when i press enter to go to the next one it goes to that bull**** examining page im gna have a look at what other drives i can put onto a bootable disk | hayesanator (12993) | ||
