Compaq Presario V3803TU

Receive 4 new laptops, compaq presario V3803TU with SATA hardisk makes me busy. It make's me busy all day in my office. Laptop receive with free DOS only. So, I must working hard to find tutorial that explain step by step to installing windows xp professional on this laptop. As usually my first step to solve all problem about computer "ask uncle google" :).

From google, i found that widows xp professional need SATA driver to detect SATA hardisk in my laptop, so i try to find it in the HP Compaq site. Compaq provide Intel Serial ATA (SATA) Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI)Controller Driver sp36132. So after download that file i must extract into one folder, c:\swsetup\SP36132.(this is the second step).

The next step is combine SATA driver with windows xp proffesional installer. In this step we need nlite software, and this is free software. And we can download Nlite v1.4.9.1 here. After download, install nlite v1.4.9.1

Now we can use it. this is the screenshoot of Nlite

Press next

Browse the source of windows installation (eg. cd or image file).

In this step, locate sata driver by clicking "drivers","Bootable ISO", and next

Click "Make ISO", make the name of iso file, and locate saving position of ISO file. Click "next", and the process begin.

Click "finish".
After making ISO's file, we must burn it into blank CD-R or CD-RW to get new Windows XP installation CD with SATA driver include. I usually use "Nero" burning program to make bootable CD installation. After that i can install windows xp in my compaq presario V3803TU with SATA hardisk. The process of installation same with standard installation of windows XP.

After finished windows xp installation, we must install the driver of compaq presario V3803TU. After searching in internet with keyword download driver Compaq Presario V3803TU i found that first driver we must install is "intel chipset" and we can download here. After install it, we must reboot (restart) laptops.

Next installing Marvell Yukon Ethernet (ethernet card) and we can download here. Then installing ALPS Touchpad driver and the source is here. Before installing quick launch driver we must install .Net Framework and download here, and after that we can install hp quick launch driver (download here).
