Leave your XP cd in and start up isobuster and open up your XP cd. On the left click on Bootable and on the right copy the .img boot file to the Boot folder you made. Close isobuster and take out your XP cd.

If you have Nero open the burning Rom, pick Boot cd on the left. Under the Boot tab check Image file and direct it to the .img file you saved in the Boot folder. Check Expert setting and set it to No emulation. Then click New at top right. When the page opens find the XP cd folder and open it and drag all the XP files over, its eaiser if you just right click on them and select all and drag all of them at once. After that just hit burn and you will have a bootable XD cd with your drivers.

most of the things you said i did manually via the article, i tested my cd on a Virtual machine and there's nothing wrong, the only way to test if my drivers are working on the cd is to boot it with my hinkpad (which is at the office

)
yeah i already downloaded N-lite but haven't install it yet, will see to it later

hey stanglehold am doing this now with NLITE, so ive pointed it to my XP disc, and now am importing Sata drivers, but what do i choose ?

Regular PNP or TEXT mode ?

Use Textmode drivers. It should be this one for the X60-Intel 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller but you can just pick all the mobile ones and it will just load the driver it needs when installing.

Dont worry, the first time I used Slipstreaming I made about 5 frisbees before I got it right

. Now I update all my 2000 and XP cds everynow and then with windows SPs and updates. Last week I just did a windows 2000 cd for a guy that wanted SP4 on it so he didnt have to keep reloading it.

the first cd i made from the article you linked me with gave me a BSOD (0x0000007b)
now the cd i made using NLITE, gave me : CD BOOT - Cannot boot from Cd code 5

WTF ?

i think the BSOD is because that Partition, Service Boot or whatever it's called.
so if i use a linux live cd and delete all* partitions, will there be a light at the end of the tunnel ?

Good, ah, (takes a deep breath), apparently the first cd i made with Nlite didn't work cause i didn't set as "make bootable Iso".
so i did this on the second cd, and it flew me through the setup one time.
XP FTW.

now to edit my SIG !!
