Steps to do:

1. First of all it is absolutely necessary to create Vista Recovery DVDs!!!!

2. be sure there are the XP device drivers

3. Download the drivers from hp for intel (sp37005.exe) or amd (sp39719.exe)( Intel SATA AHCI Controller Driver or AMD SATA AHCI Controller Driver )

4. Create a “SATA” directory and unpack the driver file downloaded from hp in it..
If the “SATA” file, is an EXE file, unpack it with the command:

START -> RUN -> CMD

C:\sata\FILENAME.exe -a -a -pc:\sata

This command is a sort of fictional installation that does not write anything on the system.

5. Download and install NLITE

6. Create a “XP” directory and (copy) unpack the ISO cd within the same directory.

7.Create also a “XPnLite” directory, where NLITE will create a bootable modified XP image.

8. Start N-lite

9. Browse and search the “I386″ directory.

10. Choosing a destination directory

11. Click on NEXT and in Task Selection, choose Drivers and Bootable ISO

click on NEXT

12. In “Driver“ tag, click on “insert” and choose “multiple drivers” and point to where you have unpacked the drivers for inyel or amd. (example c:\sata\drivers)
(Be careful to the driver path. Choose the correct driver If the PC architecture is a 64 bit Architecture, you must point to 64 bit drivers (example: C:\sata\Driver64)

Choose “ALL” to confirm the inclusion of driver and when the list of driver it appears, choose “Driver Textmode”. Hold on the CTRL button and select them all.

13. Press OK

14. When Nlite has developed and calculated the size of the new Iso, press Next

15 Press “Create ISO” and point to the “C:\XPnlite” directory.
