I have two Dell computers based on the Intel 925x chipset. One came with XP
Pro with SP1 and the other with XP Home with SP2.
I slipstreamed the XP Pro CD with SP2.

Both systems require a RAID/AHCI driver or WinXP setup reports that no hard
drive was found.

When I install with the XP Home with SP2 CD, the RAID AHCI driver is
automatically installed, no user intervention is required. When I install
with the XP Pro CD slipstreamed with SP2, I have to press F6 early in the
install so I can insert the driver diskette with the RAID/AHCI driver.

I would like to create a new XP Pro CD slipstreamed with SP2 that also
automatically installs the RAID AHCI driver.

Can anyone tell me how?
