4. Ok. now find the following section in your opened and little modified txtsetup.sif file : [WinntDirectories] and add on the end of it the following numbers :

300 = "\"
301 = "\"
302 = "\"
303 = "\"
304 = "\"
305 = "\"

5. Save your file (remember do not change its name and folder, so it should be saved in C:\XP\i386 as txtsetup.sif);

6. Open you Recovery Disk (provided by FS), and find in its i385 folder following files :
iastor.inf
iastor.sys
iastor.cat

iaahci.inf
iaahci.cat
//previously there was also : iaahci.sys but it seems that that file doesn't exist. Thanks for emails!
sisraid.inf
sisraid.sys
sisraid.cat

viapide.inf
viapdsk.cat
viapdsk.sys

viamraid.sys
viamraid.inf
viamraid.cat

nvraid.sys
nvraid.inf
nvraid.cat

nvata.cat
nvatabus.sys
nvatabus.inf

adpu320.inf
adpu320.sys
adpu320.cat

Propoerty.dll
nvraidco.dll
idecoi.dll
startoc.dl_
startoc.in_
and copy all those files into c:\XP\i386\

If everything went well now you are ready to make an iso and burn it on CD

7. Open nLite and select only Make ISO item. Point out the C:\XP\ folder and save the iso file as fs_1437G.
8. Run the Nero express and burn it
9. Now you can install your excellent Windows XP Professional easily.

I found this on the Web, so have not tried it personally I am still waiting to order my 1437G.

i got mine from laptops direct i think it was 915 so a good price considering

I bought this notebook two days ago and I am very happy with it. There are two things however that make me wonder if my nb is functioning properly: 1. When turning off, the speaker 'scratches' at the moment the power goes down and 2. Sometimes the fan is making much more sound than normal, just for less then a second, even when I am not doing anything. Is this normal?
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Hi, does anyone have dead pixels on their machine that was bought from laptospdirect?

HDD in 1437G

Hi guys. Does anyone know what HDD drive is in? I know it's 5400 rpm SATA, but who is the manufacturer and what's model?
Should I change 5400 to 7200 or 5400 is enough?

Hard drive of 1437G is made by Seagate which is of course Very good brand name!
