Sometimes you need create a custom Windows Installation CD, or need a downgrade (Vista => XP), but the normal WinXP Installation CD doesn’t have the drivers for sata controller, a good solution is nLite

nLite can create a custon Installation CD:

• Windows 2000 (Professional, Server, Advanced Server)
• Windows XP (Professional, Home, MCE, N, x64 Professional)
• Windows Server 2003 (standard, Web, Enterprise x64, R2)

Download nLite on http://www.nliteos.com/

Windows Vista need vLite on http://www.vlite.net/
