Slipstreaming SATA Drivers into XP Install

So i have this compaq computer with windows 7 x64 on it but I wanna dual boot XP.

The problem im having is with sata drivers. I'm using windows xp sp1 corporate. I used nlite to slipstream the sata driver in to the install. When I go to install, i get up to the part where it copies the files to the hard drive then restarts; after restarting i get a 'boot device not found' error message.

Anyone have experience with this? Also would there be any problems with having a x64 win7 installation and a x86 winxp on the same drive?

 

it came with windows 7 but he want windows xp

 

it came with win7 x64

 

go into the BIOS, look under hard drive settings somehwere around there, turn on SATA operation to legacy mode from normal

 

i have no such option. think its a problem with the actual slipstream?

 

i have also experienced this b4.u need to have windows xp installed first (on partition 2). then install windows 7 afterwards on partition 1 (main OS).the problem here is , when u install windows xp it messes up the windows 7 bootloader , this is what triggers the boot device error ur'e getting.so i would suggest you wipe both partitions and install xp first then windows 7.i also had same problems with a vista kernel. it dont matter if its x86 or x64 it should work once installed in the correct order.
you should also update your bios, and make sure cd-rom is before hardrive in your boot sequence.

if all fails, the slipstreamed cd that u made is most likely faulty.but nlite does a pretty good job so i doubt that would be the issue.

 

You could also check in the BIOS for an option called AHCI; you can change the option next to it to enabled or compatiblility maybe it will detect the hard drive.
