Hi,

You don't need Sata drivers if You have Win Xp with SP2.

If not download SP2 here and slipstream it with nLite.

Here is guide how to do this.

 

Drivers for XP below:

 

Nvidia chipset here (First install this and reboot. Don't install only Network Management Tools (v67.91) "Sedona" from this package)

 

MS-UAA for SP2 (required with a reboot before Audio, Modem and Graphic driver) here

 

MS-UAA for SP3 (required with a reboot before Audio, Modem and Graphic driver) here

 

Nvidia GeForce 8200M G

 

   Modded Nvidia drivers ver 186.81.

 

   How to install them in XP:
   1. Download driver here, double click and select extract,
   2. Download from this site with drivers also INF Modified and replace original INF in extracted folder,
   3. Install & reboot.

Unzip to a folder..use Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on HD",choose Update driver,
No to connect,
Install from a list or specific location,
Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,
For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".
Ignore XP when it complains.
Reboot.
