I have taken the basis of a Microsoft workaround to take the out-of-the-box shipped XP IDE drivers to inject them into an image format to prevent the well recognized BSOD on boot-up. This simple script/ package will copy the required drivers into the correct area for XP to detect them and inject the required registry keys for the O/S to boot trouble free with SATA native mode enabled on the current generation of HP laptops. As later generations of the drivers are released I will try and keep this updated to include the new drivers.

Tested models: HP 6910p HP 2510p HP 8910w HP 6400 Updated: There is a new revision of the chipset within the HP 6901p laptops. I have ammended the script to take into account of this new change and have uploaded it as MK2. I have created a ICH9 version of this script. please follow the link below for information. http://www.symantec.com/connect/download/3686/sata-ich9-drivers-windows-xp-driver-injection-script
