Then, search for the tag [SCSI.Load] line 19442:
Attach a line just under the label before atapi = atapi.sys,4
Instead iaStor.sys[intel], comes your .sys file like this:

Finally, search the tag [SCSI] line 21783:

Save the file TXTSETUP.SIF with the four parts modified.
Now, we are going to compress our drivers
Open the sell and go to the drivers folder using "cd" command
makecab iaAHCI.cat
makecab iaAHCI.inf
makecab iaStor.cat
makecab iaStor.inf
makecab iaStor.sys
All the files will be compressed with a "_" in the extension
Now we have 7 files (listed below)
Using UltraISO we are going to attach them to the image.
TXTSETUP.SIF : Put this file into I386 replace if exists
iaAHCI.ca_ : Put this file into I386
iaAHCI.in_ : Put this file into I386
iaStor.ca_ : Put this file into I386
iaStor.in_ : Put this file into I386
iaStor.sy_ : Put this file into I386
iaStor.sys : It goes into DRIVER.CAB located into I386 folder
NOTE
iaStor.sy_ : Put this file into I386
iaStor.sys : It goes into DRIVER.CAB located into I386 folder
The file iaStor.sys must be inside DRIVER.CAB
HOW?
Open the sell and go to the drivers folder using "cd" command
makecab iaAHCI.cat
makecab iaAHCI.inf
makecab iaStor.cat
makecab iaStor.inf
makecab iaStor.sys
All the files will be compressed with a "_" in the extension
Now we have 7 files (listed below)
Using UltraISO we are going to attach them to the image.
TXTSETUP.SIF : Put this file into I386 replace if exists
iaAHCI.ca_ : Put this file into I386
iaAHCI.in_ : Put this file into I386
iaStor.ca_ : Put this file into I386
iaStor.in_ : Put this file into I386
iaStor.sy_ : Put this file into I386
iaStor.sys : It goes into DRIVER.CAB located into I386 folder
NOTE
iaStor.sy_ : Put this file into I386
iaStor.sys : It goes into DRIVER.CAB located into I386 folder
The file iaStor.sys must be inside DRIVER.CAB
HOW?
- Extract DRIVER.CAB using WinRAR or similar programs to folder DRIVER.
- Put the iaStor.sys file into "DRIVER" folder.
- Using cabpck14.zip we are going to rebuild DRIVER.cab
- Open cabpck14.zip, then run CABPACK.EXE
source dir: The folder contain unpacked DRIVER.CAB files.
destination dir: the path of destination of the new "DRIVER.CAB"
compressionType: LZX
CabinetNameTemplate: "DRIVER.CAB"
Press OK button and a new DRIVER.CAB will be created in the path that we've choosen.
- Once finshed, Using WinISO or similar programs, we must replace DRIVER.CAB
inside I386 folder of the ISO image.
- Save the ISO image and burn using a CDRW.
Activate AHCI mode into the bios and the next time for XP installation,
our SATA Hard Drives or SCSI will be recognized without problem (Tested on Netbook acer Aspire One 532h).
Note:
When Windows XP installer on Installing Device Driver state, it will confirm that this driver is not digitally signed, just simply click “Yes” button, next will be asked for the place of file iaStor.sys, just click “Browse” button, select I386 folder on CD, then choose iaStor.sy_ so the installer will continue installing intel SATA device driver.
