I have Vista on my Sony VAIO VGN-NR310E, but I wanna use XP. The original OS of my laptop is Vista, and since then I've been going back and forth between Vista and XP OS. And now I end up using Vista. But this time when I slip the XP CD in, it doesn't work. The CD is fine. I tried booting from the CD itself but it gives me a message: "Setup cannot detect.." So, I do some research and I found out about nLite. I followed a very thorough walkthrough, but still nothing.

Thanks.

You need the Mass Storage drivers from Sony for your system to slipstream using nlite (If you're only installing to a single system).

www.driverpacks.net has universal drivers that can be slipstreamed into your XP source using the DriverPacks BASE that would allow your disc to be installed to 98% of systems out there.

Now, when I mounted the WinLite.iso, I still couldn't install XP.

You need burn ISO to DVD or make bootable USB. You can´t install older OS from newest... You must do clean install - format system drive

And you need to slipstream this DP using DP Base

Edited July 12, 201014 yr by George King

Oh. So you're saying I have to burn it on a disk? Can't I just mount it using Ultraiso?

Oh. So you're saying I have to burn it on a disk? Can't I just mount it using Ultraiso?

no you need to burn it nlite usualy makes alot of problem if you used that way

you better burn it and it should work then

Oh. So you're saying I have to burn it on a disk? Can't I just mount it using Ultraiso?

Yes, you can burn ISO via UltraISO, than you can boot from disk and all will be ok

Also, if you're trying to slipstream LOTS of drivers with nlite, nlite will choke. It's not really elegant in how it handles drivers.

You REALLY need to slipstream drivers using DriverPacks BASE.
