    Is XP modified for SATA install available from someone?
    « on: February 22, 2011, 07:27:35 AM »
    Some things I can do, some things evade me. Using N'lite to create a WinXP OS disk with the drivers for my Gateway with SATA is one that I tried several times but can't seem to make it work.

    Is there a source for a disk already prepared for WinXP? or is there a place to send my OS disk and have one created?

    Thanks,

      Thank you Allan,

      When I previous attempted this I was mistaken to believe that the computer used to make the ISO had to be WinXP. Of course I have Vista.

      I will attempt this again with your encouragement.

      Another question: I also have Win2000Pro; Win2003Server; and NT4. Are any or all or none of these candidates for N'lite treatment.

      Hate to be a stickler on these old softwares, but my main programs are AutoCAD2000 and AutoCAD2000LT. I tried using the wizard to emmulate early Win OS in Vista with very poor performance.

      I'll keep you posted, but it might be the weekend before I try....

      Thanks,
      John

      NLite will work on Win2k.....don't think it works on any Server editions of Win though...
