Installing XP on Compaq Presario V3660 with SATA

Finally, i installed win XP on my notebook successfully, after three days i searched the compatible driver for its SATA hardisk.
At first time i installed XP on V3660, i got the same problem like everyone did, myhardisk cannot be detected in installation progress. The main problem is no driver SATAattached in win XP package installation.

Although i have the CD driver from the distributor where i bought it, but unfortunately it not compatible anymore, because the drivers that they'd give is for V3000 series which some driver are too old to new generation of Compaq V3000 series.
Cek this out for more detail (eventhough is not the same series, but it works ;> , i think because the chipset for these series are same) :

And then, if you don't want install driver by floppy disk after you press F6 in installation process. You can make your own winXP CD package which attached with SATA driver. You can use Nlite ( http://www.nliteos.com/download.html ).
After installation Nlite on your PC done, don't forget to copy all content from your old winXP CD to specified folder. So you can attach in first process using NLite, like this picture below :

And then, you just focus on Integrate Driver and Create Bootable ISO like this image below :

The next step is insert for the appropriate drivers that you've download from previous URL. Then, make the image CD and burn it, at the end you have your own customize winXP CD.
Have a nice try ;>
