XP installation doesn't recognise Toshiba L40 SATA drive.
Last week my cousin came to me and said that he has problem installing Windows XP on his brand new Toshiba L40 notebook. I noticed that XP doesn't recognises its SATA drive. And then the project started: A USB floppy drive will not work in this case as setup doesn't recognise it. Finally I went for help to my loved one (Internet) and found really nice tool (I got fond of it); NLite which allow you to integrate any external or 3rd party driver to the inbox XP installation suite. Here are the steps I used: run nLite, Welcome Screen appear, click Next. Locating the Windows installation .. insert you original Windows XP Installation CD (which I use OEM version of Windows XP Home with Service Pack 2) to you optical drive, and click Browse. Pick a location on your harddrive (or make a new folder) to store your Windows XP Installation files befoe making ISO file . Click Next. Preset. delete all preset (if exist).. click Next Task Selection, Only select to options, Driver and Bootab
