I am trying to install Windows XP on a T3400. I have read about the SATA ACHI driver issue in many places & tried slip streaming the drivers but nothing works. I end up with a BSOD. [IMAGE] The drivers I tried are from the T3400 support page, and specifically (1) Intel_Rapid-Storage-Technology_A04_R264761 and (2) Intel Matrix Storage Manager_R173412.  Both "OS Pre-Install Drivers". Slip-streamed using nLite and selected all driver files within the folders as "Text Mode Drivers".   Neither worked. Can someone shed some light on what are the correct drivers to be slip-streamed to install windows XP 32-bit version.  (I can install windows 7 without any issues). Thanks.
