nLite

nLite is an application program that allows you to customize your XP installation disc by

integrating the RAID/AHCI drivers into the disc. By using nLite, the F6 function key usually

required during installation is no longer needed.

1. Download the program from nLite’s offical website.

2. Install nLite.

3. Download relevant RAID/AHCI driver files from Intel’s website. The drivers you choose will

depend on the operating system and chipset used by your computer.

The downloaded driver files

should include iaahci.cat,

iaAHCI.inf, iastor.cat, iaStor.

inf, IaStor.sys, license.txt

and TXTSETUP.OEM.

disc into an optical drive.

5. Launch nLite. The Welcome

screen will appear. Click

Next.

save the Windows installa-

tion files to the designated

default folder.

Note:

The installation steps below are based on nLite version 1.4.9. Installation procedures

may slightly vary if you’re using another version of the program.

to installing nLite.
