SATA drive and Deployment

Hey,
Since SATA is becoming a standard for laptops and PC's we face some problems with how to deploy them since no standard XP CD support those drivers.

HP came up with an article on how to add the(re) drivers to a XP unattend or sysprep or new Installation CD or even WINPE.

That WINPE you need to get an image of latops with a SATA drive

Here you can find the document : Link to HP

This white paper provides instructions on how to successfully incorporate SATA drivers into a Windows XP installation on HP Compaq Notebook PC models. The following guidelines provide procedures for adding SATA drivers to RIS installation points; adding SATA drivers to installation CDs; building an image and switching to SATA AHCI mode; using Sysprep with SATA in AHCI or NATIVE mode; and adding SATA drivers using WinPE.

It goes for:
HP Compaq 6310, 6320 and 6330 Notebook PC models
HP Compaq 9420 and 9440 Notebook PC models
HP Compaq 6400 Notebook PC models
HP Compaq 7400 Notebook PC models
HP Compaq 4400 Notebook PC models
HP Compaq 8400 Notebook PC models


Thx Frank ;-)
