Appendix A - NLITE and AHCI Installation Guide

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. 

 

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.

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

 http://www.nliteos.com/download.html 

2. Install nLite.

Important:

Due to it’s coding with Visual.Net, you may need to first install .NET Framework 

prior to installing 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.

4. Insert the XP installation disc 

into an optical drive.

5. Launch nLite. The Welcome 

screen will appear. Click 

Next.

6. Click Next to temporarily 

save the Windows installa-

tion files to the designated 

default folder. 

If you want to save them in 

another folder, click Browse, 

select the folder and then click 

Next.
