Vista Downgrade Problem

by lowryda . Updated 17 years, 5 months ago

Hi I have a Compaq Presario CQ60:
Dual Core 2ghz
230 gb SATA HDD
3 gb DDR2

Recenty I attempted to downgrade from Vista Home to XP Sp2.

I slipstreamed the sata driver into the my XP SP2 installation(using nlite) and successfully loaded the XP setup once the initial setup completed and the 1st reboot commenced the it did not continue to boot and all that was displayed was a flashing white cursor on a black screen. I managed to compete the installation by booting from a previously created XP boot disk, but XP will no boot unless the boot disk is in the drive (shows the flashing cursor).

Please help
