I've aquired a Lifebook T Series Laptop with no harddrive. It also has no CD Rom port, just an additional battery in the module port.

I dug out an old 80GB Sata drive, connected it to my Acer Aspire, installed Windows XP MCE OEM, and thought I would be satisified.

Connecting the HD to the Lifebook, it get a BSOD with a Stop Error: 0x0000007B.

Google tells me the PC is probably using an OEM SATA Driver, and low and behold it's offered for download at the Fujitsu website...

Apparently, the only way to properly install an OEM driver is via Diskette... yup.. good old fashioned floppies, which, unfortunately, this notebook, nor any of my PC's, currently use floppy..

Is there any way one could slipstream the Windows XP OEM Install to include those drivers, and where could one get the information to do this????

iirc there's a program called nlite to do this.

you can install windows from a network location iirc which may be less involved. you're likely to run into problems installing it through another computer regardless.

NLite did exactly what I wanted it to do and more.. thanks for that...

 I immediately have run into problems... I need to install it while the Hard Disk is in place on the Lifebook computer...

shit..

now to google install from network location.. I hadn't thought of that, Thanks!

Back to google to figure out how to do that...
