Not really a big deal, I used nLite at the time because I wanted it done quicker and was lazy.madmatt said:Don't use nLite, do the work yourself. I can walk you through it if you need help.
1) go into bios and select 'RAID/ATA' option
2) install xp [not necessary if already installed]
3) boot into xp
4) go to device manager and update the ide controller that's connected to
SATA drive. make sure you force it to select
'Intel® 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller'
*note- u can get the driver from dell CD or u can download R78496.exe
from dell, but in this case, u'll need a PC with floppy to extract
the image unless u have winimage, but i'm not sure if it's gonna
extract it for u. *forget to mention that u still need to be able
to access those driver either by lan, cd/dvd reader, hardrive to
hardrive,etc....
5) make sure you don't update the driver for PATA IDE. if you do that,
you won't be able to boot back into windows regardless of which mode u
choose in bios for ide controller.
6) after u update the driver for the IDE attached to your SATA drive, windows
will ask you to reboot.
7) once reboot, go into bios before windows start and change 'RAID/ATA' to
'RAID/AHCI'
8) save and exit bios, now you should be able to boot into windows and install
intel application accelerator.
