howto Install windows xp sp1 to the new notebook

my bro can't do this because of lack of drivers at the disk.

this is my plan:

1. install it to the VirtualBox

2. install additional drivers to the system

3. install acronis or another disk cloning software to the virtual machine.

4. use some utilities to reset all drivers

5. create a disk image and copy it to the shared folder, or directly to a flash drive

6. boot a live version of the cloning software and copy a disk image to the hard drive

second variant: clonezilla+VmWare

oops.. I've found a brillant HOWTO
