Hi there. I have an HP Mini 311c 1020a and I'm trying to put Windows XP Pro SP3 on it.
The nvidia SATA drivers from the HP support page integrate fine, so Windows can see the drive to install. All my other options like setting up a user and integrating a key seem to work fine too. The problem lies with the other hardware which does not configure itself during the install or on first run. I have to run the installers again whenever Windows loads. This is not a big problem for me who understands these things, however I wanted to create a restore disc for dummies should I decide to sell this netbook.
http://h10025.www1.h...product=4036021
is the driver page. Each driver is in the form of an installer which extracts to a folder on the C drive before running the proper installer. I use the extracted folder to integrate into Windows.
I believe that whoever made the XP CD that I am using used nlite to slipstream SP3 and add some key, but I don't think they added drivers.
I've slipstreamed these drivers before with XP Home and it seemed to work fine, but for the fact that key was not legal. =(
Any ideas why these drivers will not work with this XP Pro when they worked fine before?
Cheers in advance.

Cheers, however the SATA drivers did work. Odd.
Whenever I have been slipstreaming I have been trying to use non-pirate copies, it's only after I get them into nlite do I discover that they have the wrong key.
I have my own key, that's why I'm doing this.

Look at the links I gave... You don't integrate Driver EXE files... you integrate INF's from the Extracted EXE files...
