if you are slipstream and success, i hope you use windows xp sp2 which you can download directly frm microsoft page because sp2 support most drivers and intergt=rate it using nlite:

thank you for your information.
im using win xp pro service pack 2.
at first, im using it without slipstream and my compaq detect it as a virus. after using slipstream cd (my winxp cd+sata driver) i can install windows without any problem until i restart. then its hang at xp logo...boot again and require disk.
if i put the cd it will prompt to install windows again.
thanks again in advance.

I think you need another sata driver and slipstream it with nlite because the current one might not compatible and that what cause the problems:
Download ICH9 sata driver,
The driver is located in iaAHCI.inf
It is called ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller

hi,
its the same sata driver that i downloaded before.
before this i think maybe i did use the wrong sata driver. i follow your link here, and downloaded it again..its was the third same zip folder i download.
i integrate it with xp using nlite, burn and put in the cd drive. i can install the windows.but after i restart, its hang at xp logo.
thanks,
yana

Hi I have a Compaq Presario V2433AU, it came with XP Home, it's been updated to SP3.
The system is running very slowly so I've decided to do a Clean Install of XP Pro.
Everytime I do the computer shuts down on the "Press ENTER to install" or the "End User License Agreement" screen.
What do I need to do to format the hard drive and have a clean install of XP Pro?
Thank you kindly.
Yana:
hope you got the solution and share here with us.
lawrenece: here there aer several things that might casue your system restart. what you did is right right to install clean xp but there are several thing that cause your system to restart.
1. I think you can try install XP pro using another cd cause i expect your cd might corrupted.
2. May be your hardware and first i expect your ram or hdd. but try the first suggestion i mentioned above and inform back the result.
p/s: please make sure you laptop not overheating

Hi, I have Compaq CQ 40 -425 TU. I get Blue screen error while connecting USB devices ( Pendrive or…portable Hard drive”
to Mr. Ubai aka. CIkgu ubai =)
Biasanya kalau laptop slow sebab banyak program masa start, nak check dia
1. click start - run -taip "msconfig" lepas tu pilih startup, kat situ tgk program yang tak pakai buang, kalau xbrani bia dulu.
2. kalau pakai themes tpaksa bunag sebab themes memang pakai banyak ram, kalau nak pakai jugak boleh tapi kena beli ram baru, hehe
3. mantain komputer = click start- all programs - accecories -system tools - disk defragmenter -defragment local disk C.
4. virus jugak mungkin ada kacau, try bukak task manager. kilk Ctrl+alt+del, tegok kat process, tegok bahagian mana yang paling tinggi jumlahnya.
pasal dvd/cd rom tu kawe sero sebab dia dah lama jadik defektif, mgkin kna tukar baru, kalau boleh elak pasang cd kotor (calar),sebab makin cepat dia rosak, lagi satu kalau DVD/cd rom tu selalu buat burn pn dia jd g2, kalau dah teruk sgat sampai xleh baca bleh beli external usb (rm30-40) pastu DVD rom biasa (samasung (rm90), kalau nak ganti baru leh tapi mahal la ckit dalam rm250.
kalau nak cek dia betul defektif ke x try cari mana2 cd original(apa2 xkisah, yg xcalar) kalau baca elok memang defektif dah tu.

WINXP SP3 CD DOES NOT BOOT AFTER "PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM CD" IN LAPTOP BUT THE SAME CD WORK PERFECTLY IN DESKTOP
hi there,first a little information, if you are using compaq or acer, there are several model that built for VISTA ONLY and not for XP, means you can't directly install windows XP, and your desktop are compatible with both Operating system while your notebook are not.
To install windows Xp in you laptop you need to tell your model (compaq, acer,etc). Provide me with your laptop model so i can assist your to install windows XP in it. A little more info, most acer laptop need to change setting in BIOS while if you use compaq you need to create a new win XP cd from your original one, the process called slipstream. Reply asap,
any driver compaq cq40-107ax for xp??
helo black, thanks for linking me to my drivers..here i wanna ask you, does the driver imported by driver max from xp compatible for window 7?? hope u answer me bro, thanks again.
ok i can't say neither compatible or not, it depend on type of drivers, for chipset, graphic and sound normally i cant be use fo win 7 but other drivers may work, if wrong driver installed you will get BSOD, if you you want to try make sure create a restore point first, then install the driver suggested by drivermax, restart..if you BSOD(blue screen)restart and press F8 repetedly during the post screen and select safe mode..restore your computer to earlier time.

hi deepak sachan,
you need to create a new windows XP cd. You will need to put additional file (sata AHCI) to you XP installation cd. To create a new windows XP CD you will need a new Writable CD and follow guide here, make sure to use AMD SATA AHCI in the guide :
FOllow this link for the tutorial:

Here is the latest Nvidia Drivers for your model Nvidia Gforce 7150m:
GeForce Release 179.
To check weather your driver installed open device manager(right click on my computer select manage) and if there are no yellow mark under display so your driver successfully installed. What i always do is automatically search driver for my nvidia using this tools here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us,
select the second options there.
My laptop is compac pressario CQ40-538TU. I have problem with my laptop. when I shut down it, it is still on. it happened after I installed window 7 in it. before I used Window Vista. what happens to my laptop? if there is a problem, how to solve it?
Hi Budiman,
after click the shut down button, and it still on rite, can you open any folder or run any program at that time?, reply back.
(p/s: for now you can shut down by open task manager, select shut down and on the panel click shut down with holding Ctrl+alt+del), it will shut down in 2 seconds but not really good method because if u do that for many times maybe there are other effect.
