Hi,

First make Vista backup. How to do it all informations here.

Update Your Bios to the latest version from here.

How to do it?

Plug You ac adapter to the computer.

Disconnect from the internet. Switch off any antivirus and firewalls.

Start updating Bios. It may take some time. Don't switch off Your laptop, don't disconnect ac and don't do anything on it when this update is running.

Now You need to slipstream Your Sata drivers (only ICH9M) with nLite.

Here is guide how to do it and here are Sata drivers for You. Just unrar this drivers with winrar.

Be sure also that You are using WinXP SP2 version. If you haven't got SP2 version here you can download this service pack

and here You have got guide how to slipstream this file with Your system again by nLite.

In this program You can even burn Your new XP cd with this driver.

Do manual installation

Browse to the location of machine.inf.

Do it for the rest of unknown devices
