1.	Solve : tried slip stream sp3 on xp coorperate still wont recognise sata drive?
Answer» as the topic states i am running a 250g sata drive in my laptop i originally had vista but i dont like the format or the performance i tried to go back to xp but it is saying that it wont recognise the hard drive any help would be appreciated There's not enough info to assist i'm afraid... Are you saying you tried to MAKE a SLIPSTREAM CD or you used 1 to try to install XP ? ? If so how was this CD made and what flavor SATA drivers does it contain ? ? They have to match your MBoard...it INTERFACED properly with my mboard when i was running vista. it ran fine with vista but i would rather RUN xp so i did a full restore and used a slipstream program (it works we tried it with another computer) and it just one recognise my satai created a disc that slipstreamed and still cant get xp to work and what do you mean by flavorYou're terminology is confusing.... "What" interfaced with your MBoard when running Vista ? ? Again "What" slipstream app was used and where is the XP info from ? ? Factory or MS CD ? ? Flavor meant did you use the proper SATA drivers...(the ones from the MBoard manuf...) and the proper ones for XP ? ? The SATA drivers may be different for Vista. Just so you know restore or not you cannot slipstream an existing XP install and expect it to run...it doesn't work that way. You need an original XP CD to create a slipstream installation CD.This sounds like they slipstreamed SP3 into a XP install and for some reason think that this gives XP SATA capabilities.I'm just confused... paradox - did you use a utility line nlite to include the sata drivers in the slipstream?Wait, I dont think there is an XP Corporate. There is home and pro. "Corporate", I think, is usally a moniker of a pirated Windows copy on Warez sites.

The SATA drivers may be different for Vista.
