Hello, I slipstreamed the s-ata drivers into xp kit, and I still got BSOD. I've tried HM55 s-ata drivers, then, I tried with general s-ata drivers. My CPU-Z Information is the following:

Brand: Intel

Chipset: Havendale/Clarkdale Host Bridge rev02

Windows XP Operating System must be on 32 or 64 bytes?

Ok, I've tried a windows xp sp1 x64, and I got same blue screen. I've tried only with HM 55 chipset s-ata drivers, and then I tried with all Intel drivers. Same result. Any sugestions?

I've tried the trick with F7 when F6 is asked. The notebook freezes at: setup is starting Windows. It freezes there (not BSOD)
