Gateway® GT5404
Intel® Desktop Board D945GCL (click here for Windows XP drivers from Intel)
Gateway® GT5404 Desktop comes with Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I posted a little review on this computer in March and mentioned that I installed Windows XP Pro on it. Since then I have been getting question on how to get Windows XP to recognize the Serial-ATA drive. The BIOS of the motherboard allows to configure the SATA devices as IDE so that Windows XP installers can detect the drive without having to install the SATA driver first.
The same method also works for Gateway® GT5408 Desktop.
UPDATE: the main database where the pictures were hosted crashed and gone. I’ll re-upload the pictures soon.
I’ll post more on where to get the Windows XP drivers for this computer and Gateway® GT5408 Desktop.

Previously, I installed Boot Camp 1.2 beta beta on my 15-inch MacBook Pro Core Duo 2.0GHz. Unfortunately I didn’t have large enough partition to install Windows Vista Ultimate on it. I had an existing 8GB partition with Windows XP Pro installed, and it’s recommended to have a minimum of 12GB partition. I currently have another MacBook Pro to work on. It’s a 15-inch MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz. I am going to reinstall Mac OS X Tiger on this computer, but in the meantime I’m gonna install Windows Vista Ultimate for testing.
I will update this post in the next few days.

Known issue with the “Windows Cursor” patch:
CNET News reported that “Windows cursor patch” is causing troubles on some computers. Apparently the update is not compatible with Realtek device drivers. The Windows cursor patch causes Realtek ethernet and audio drivers stop working.

I experienced the same thing on Tueasday (04.03.2007) after applying the Windows cursor patch on numerous computers. The audio devices stopped working and Windows reported a “generic svchost error” consistently. On some computers, the problem can be mitigated by reinstalling the drivers. On some other computers, the problem was a lot more severe.
A few weeks ago my coleague and I encountered a similar “generic svchost error” on numerous computers. The problem seemed to happen after Microsoft rolled out the new “Windows Genuine Advantage” update.
