It's time for that yearly chore of re-installing Windows XP on my laptop... I used
nLite to slipstream the SATA drivers into the Windows XP source CD (no USB floppy drive available to provide the driver during the installation). It worked great, I downloaded the driver from HP, extracted the ISO of the source Windows XP SP3 CD, ran nLite, pointed it to the drivers, and had it build a new ISO burning it straight to CD.
I was amazed how easy it was, amazing how far the tools have come.
I took the opportunity to leave about 50GB of space available on the drive to install Ubuntu 10.4.
Cheers!
