VAIO & Sonic HD Suite; How to Install

[Toti]

Sonic HD programs like:

Scenarist HD V4
CineVision
Scenarist Bluray

They only install on Windows XP PRO. However, if you try to install Windows XP Pro with a SATA Drive it won't find the drive to install. This is only for Sony VAIO owners like myself.

SOLUTION:

You need to get NLITE and go to http://esupport.sony.com/ to find the Sata Raid driver.

All the details are on this website http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Windows-XP-On-SATA-Without-a-Floppy-F6-47807.shtml After you install Windows XP PRO you can convert it to Media Center so you can use the VAIO 200 CD/DVD changer since it will only work inside Media Center 05 with Roll Up 2.

Sonic Scenarist works great! :cool:

Hope this helps others like it did me.

Thanks for the heads up, Toti! I had the same problem as you, and I thought I'd tried everything. Mostly what I've been doing is running Scenarist out of a virtual machine. But your solution sounds a lot better for performance - I'll give it a try.
