Many of you have come across a blue screen while trying to install windows xp in your new laptop. This BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) is due to the fact that your Windows XP does not have the SATA drivers which is required to detect your Hard Disk Drives. The solution to this is to integrate SATA drivers to your winxp CD, the following steps will let you do it.
If you don’t have Floppy Disk Drive especially on a notebook. You still can install Win Xp by Slip streaming SATA driver into WinXp boot cd using nLite.
Materials needed:
1) nLite(download here), a free tool to help you slipstreaming(integrate) your SATA drivers into WinXp installation disk.
2) Extract SATA driversĀ (Please see the corresponding Laptop models for SATA drivers )
(if you are using Intel chipset Intel 82801GR/GH, 631xESB/632xESB, 82801GHM, ICH8R/ICH9R, 82801HEM SATA RAID Controller, get the drivers from here)
Steps:
1) Get your Windows XP installation disk and copy the contents to a new folder(I named it “WinXp”).
2) Extract the SATA drivers you downloaded into a folder
3) Run nLite->choose “Next”.
4) Now, locate the Windows folder(for me, it’s “WinXp”).
5) Next again and you will come to “Presets”. Ignore this by choosing “Next” again.
6) In “Task Selection”, choose “Drivers” and “Bootable ISO” by high-lighting them.
7) Choose “Insert”->”Single driver”
8) Browse to the SATA driver folder and select either one of the .INF file, I choose “iaahci.inf”.
9) A screen like below will pop-up, make sure it’s “Textmode driver” ( This is the most important step ) and select all of them by holding CTRL+A key and choose “OK”
10) You shall see something like this. Choose “Next” and you will be prompted.
11) Choose “Yes” to start the process.
12) Let it finish and choose “Next”.
13) Finally, you can create your project as ISO image or burn it directly to CD-R under “Mode”. I choose “Direct Burn”. You can put anything for “Label” but not too long. Choose “Burn” and you will be prompted again.
14) Choose “Yes” to burn it to CD-R. Wait for it to finish and choose “Next”
15) Choose “Finish” to exit nLite.
Thats all You can now boot your laptop with this CD and install Windows Xp with out Blue screen showing.

How to downgrade Vista Basic to XP Pro ? My Notebook Presario V3221AU.
Thanx so much^^. I upload this thing in my blog. Because Korean compaq users need it.
nice blog ……………..
I followed the above proc. successfully, created the CD but as I run the setup, it loads the files & BSOD appears as usual i.e., failed to install Win Xp. Plz resolve. Thanx
Hello Manoj jain,
It is safe to create the iso rather than direct burn. Create ISO of the slipstreamed CD and then burn using your favoraite cd-burner.
This will solve your problem.
Thank you,
Prasad.S.R

Dear Sir,
Thats wonderfull solution you have provided. Hats off to you.
Though the SATA driver you have provided did not work on Compaq CQ40-317TU. The Driver worked for me had “Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller”.
The file details are : Filename: iaAHCI.INF
; ** Revision: Version 8.8.0.1009
; ** Date: 02/11/2009
; ** Abstract: Windows* INF File for Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager Driver
Its available on intel site :

I had a talk with one technical person, he says he used SP41610.EXE FOR Audio and it worked perfectly. But it did not work for me. The Modem driver did not work.
Your method worked very fine. I made a CD and then installed it.
Thanks

in my cq40-108tu laptop after installind windows xp as u said,
it shows error loading os at the time of restart.(when installing ).in bios there is no option to change raid controller. what to do?
pls reply
I have the same model of laptop. I also got the “error loading operating system” message. I used XP sp2 installer instegrated with sata. What am i doing wrong?
when i installed xp, i just reformat one of the two partition and left the other drive untouched because all of my documents are in there. should i reformat the whole hdd, create partition then install xp to the 1st partition? could it be the source of the problem?
just solved it. i deleted the partition then create a new one and installed xp on that partition. my other partition where my documents are located were left as is.
this isn’t help me at all…. i followed all your steps mut still showing a bluescreen… is there any solution????

Hi Prasad,
I have compaq cq42 139 tu, could you please give me the link for SATA drivers the same.
THANK YOU VERY VERY LOT FOR THE SOLVATION FOR THE PROBLEM
Good article. It was really helpful. Thank you very, very much!
I’ve been looking for a solution to this problem for many weeks but didn’t find a proper one which could solve my problem.
Windows 7 is a great OS but it consumes too much battery power so I thought of using Windows XP which had a reduced power consumption. But, I am not being able to install it. It can’t install directly from the CD-ROM so I tried booting. When it says to press any key to setup XP, I press then it says that it is inspecting hardware configuration then at the bottom of the blue screen many texts comes and finally when it says Windows is now loading…a blue screen appears with a STOP: 0x7B error. I searched the whole web. I found a solution which says to change the SATA to IDE in the BIOS setup, but I accessed my BIOS menu but didn’t find anything with SATA/IDE…my Windows XP disc has SATA drivers in it, but when I press F6 during the bottom-texts another screen comes which tells me to press S or ENTER or Esc, when I press S a screen comes telling that no floppy-drive is found.
My system:
Compaq Presario CQ42-355TU
Please provide me with a working solution to this problem!

IT IS NOT WORKING. I have tried by using the right drivers for my laptop. when i started the process as similar as above tutorial, I got error messege before finalizing ends and then after the process finalized, the funny thing is the windows installation files became 10 times bigger (700…MB —-> 7000…MB)
And nlite getting error when i like to make an .ISO (this may because the windows files so big)
btw I did the process above using nlite and the windows version is XP professional SP3.
any body can solve this?
It working fine for me. Those who are facing some problems make sure you have right drivers and these drivers are updated. It will work. Nice post.
