How to Install Windows 7 on a Compaq NC8430

Today we are going to install the best current Windows; 7, in this somewhat dated computer but with a Centrino Duo that can cope with the Win7. I've found that does not have the drivers for the hard drive, so I had to go to the manufacturer's website, HP, and download the AHCI Sata hard disk controller. 
To copy it to a USB need to burn it to a floppy, and as I don't have this anymore, I have had to do with a virtual floppy using an USB pendrive.

To save you the trouble, dear reader looking for how to install, I created a zip with the necessary.Download the full zip on the link below, extract the content and copy it to a USB skewer (pendrive) and it tells the installer will Win 7 where it is, and it will leave you install:
