Intel Sata Driver Floppy

Steps to add SATA drivers to the CD. 1) Copy all the directories and files from the Windows XP CD to a temporary folder (these guidelines will use c: xpcd) 2) Download the Intel SATA AHCI Controller Driver, SoftPaq SP32478.exe, from www.hp.com. 3) Extract all the files from the SoftPaq. A USB floppy is necessary for this step. DOWNLOAD MSI 945GCM7-L Intel SATA RAID Floppy Driver.

So let me understand this. Microsoft is going to be releasing a service pack to bring XP up to date, thus XP SP3, but isn't going to add SATA drivers?

There are workarounds but Microsoft does not support them. To me this seems like a problem that should be addressed.

Also (Microsoft's) Business Desktop Deployment 2007 does not like CD's that have been created/altered with nLite. Microsoft will go so far as to give you guides posted online, and give you the ability to collect updates to integrate into an image - but that is as far as Microsoft will go regarding slipstreamed CD's unless you are willing to go to Pro Level Support for $259 per issue.

It is not classified as a consumer level issue as consumers typically will not ever think to, or need to, or want to, make such a thing. It is classified internally as an advanced Pro issue. Even at Pro Level Support, they are only supposed to assist updating online network share install sources which are typically Volume License network install sources for corporate LAN's mass deployment - as opposed to an actual bootable disk. Technically, the creation of a backup disk, or the creation of a slipstreamed disk, or any bootable optical disk, is not supported by Microsoft. By not supported, that means Microsoft will not talk to you on the phone to help you make it (nor help via email correspondence with you personally to help you make it).

It doesn't mean that you can not legally make it and use it on your own. Therefore, the use of nLite is indeed not supported. Neither is it supported, in the context of support implied here, if you make it manually as Microsoft's guides posted at various sites on its domain (Microsoft Knowledge Base, MSDN, Technet sites) suggest using the /integrate switch at the command line.

Making and using them has no impact on your warranty and/or ability to use it for calling Microsoft for other issues that are within their support boundaries. When you call Microsoft, they will want to check 'Control Panel->System Properties' to check your PID (Product ID number) and to see what Service Pack level you are at.

That way we can see if this copy has a warranty with Microsoft and make sure it is up-to-date enough (i.e. It is SP2 or later as installed at the moment - the SP level of the install source is irrelevant).

Microsoft does not make drivers. Drivers tell Windows how to communicate with the respective hardware said driver was written for. The manufacturer of the hardware makes the driver. Microsoft does provide DDK (Driver Development Kits) to hardware manufacturer's so that they can know what format a driver should be in to maximize efficiency communicating to a given OS (there are different DDK's for different OS'es). Microsoft has the WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) program where hardware manufacturer's can voluntarily submit their drivers for a Microsoft review process - and if said drivers submitted pass inspection Microsoft can make them available on the Windows Update website - but this is only on a voluntary basis. Using nLite and the driver packs at Driverpacks.net you can make an install source with virtually all known drivers that will end up being a little over 1GB large - so it would end up being an installation DVD rather than a CD.
