thanks yordan :unsure:

now everything runs well... but with one problem, the laptop runs on dual GPU - ATI HD 4330 and Intel Onboard... at the moment it's running only on intel as XP Driver for HD 4330 dosen't exist...

i have tried mobility modder:
http://www.hardwareh...com/modtool.php

and followed these as well
http://forums.guru3d...ad.php?t=325619
which enables windows XP to recognize the existence of the ATI GPU but unsure if it's actually running it or not!

Congrats, Manuleka!
Once you have solved the problem, it appears simple.
Including the drivers in the slipstreamed CD was a great idea.

shipped with Vista? what about booting on a Vista DVD and see how it behaves?

unfortunately i no longer have the media! it's an old piece that has lying in storage for sometime now (may be a year or two)

just trying to breathe life back into it :unsure:

Look on the manufacturer's website if this laptop is usually sold with Windows XP.
They probably have a custom XP install disk.

thanks yordan, this laptop shipped with Vista... it's an Acer Aspire 5810TG, but replaced the malfunctioned HDD

slipstreaming? i might try nLite and integrate the chipset driver (i'm guessing it's a Storage Controller issue)

so i'm doing a fresh install of Windows XP on a laptop, but setup can't see the HDD... i ran Bodhi live and it recognizes the 60GB disk, so i installed it and it runs fine...

could this be a driver issue?
