I have read that some have used nLite to do this.

I have no experiance with this, it is only from reading that I suspect that this is the problem.

Unless there is more about this on this forum, Google may be your best choice.

hey thanks glatzfront
i guess your right about the Sata Driver as the laptop is using sata HD...however, i think it is most unlikely something to do with the driver as ive previously installed Xp easily on PC and laptops using sata...well i think il check up on google..and il update you on my findings...thnk again..
