When I bought TravelMate 6292 last month, it made me annoyed with the performance because Vista needs a lot of resources from this machine (this was before I updated the Vista). 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo Processor and 1 Gigs DDR2 were nothing for Vista. Vista has made me spent for additional 3 Gigs DDR2 for better performance. Travelmate 6292 was bundled with Vista Business Edition. It is annoying for XP lovers who want to install XP in there (you should have the license first before installing). That’s because XP needs Sata Driver to be installed in Travelmate 6292 before XP installation. The problem is it needs floppy drive to install Sata Driver. Unfortunately, floppy drive age has passed away. 6292 doesn’t have floppy drive. After a lot of browsed pages, tips, and forums, finally I’ve found a great tips about how to install XP in your TravelMate 6292. I can install XP without the floppy drive. I need to slip-streamed the driver to XP installation progress. How to do that? You can try these steps!
1. Thanks to Dino Nuhagic who develop nLite for us to solve “Vista-to-XP Migration”. You can download nLite at http://www.nliteos.com/download.html. Install the nLite!
2. You need to download Sata Driver for TravelMate 6292 (Intel Chipset 965GM). Ask to uncle google for the file! Download and extract to your harddisk!
3. Also you need to copy your XP installation CD to a folder in your harddisk. It will be needed by nLite in creating a new installation CD which merged with Sata Driver.
4. Run your nLite and follow the instructions!
5. Tadaa.. You’ve got a new installation CD with Sata Driver included.
6. You can install your XP in common way.
