Installing XP on Asus an K8S-MX

I've got an Asus K8S-MX motherboard and I needed to reinstall windows xp onto my Maxtor 6L160M0 HDD. So I tried to use the nlite slipstream again (see T105 post). This disc didn't work: I guess the driver for the T105 sATA is different to the K8S-MX. So I made another nlite slipstream XP installation disc, using the old one (with SP3) as the basis, but adding the driver from here. This time I needed to select the PNP option. During installation I had to remember to not press F6.
