Success!!

With the help of nLite, I managed to created an installation CD with SP2 sreamelined into it and the only needed SATA driver. I managed to get XP installed now.

Now remains that other challence: finding XP drivers for all components ('cause HP does not provide any)

I swear I'll never ever ever EVER buy HP again!
