Well, in my opinion, you should just restore it back to the Win7 factory image and leave it there.  Win7 is a much better product than XP.  On your machine, HP doesn't even support Vista let alone XP.
You're asking for trouble by staying with XP.

But to answer your question.  Restore the Win7 image, run the HWID program, post the results here, then hope & pray that we could possibly help you get XP on an unsupported platform.

Thanks for including the \NEW\ folder.  That makes it simple!

Why would we want to do that to the Win7 pack?

During "textmode" setup, the drivers are specially selected from the dpms .ini file.  Once the drive is formated and the setup transistions to the "GUI mode" setup, then all the available drivers are scanned and Windows will pick what it thinks is the most suitable one between T-36 and T-33 of setup.  If it's not compatible, the system will crash as you've found out.

Please post your DPs_BASE.log and HWID list.

I already updated the cardreader Third Party DriverPack.  The "misc" pack is for drivers that don't fit in any other pack.

Sure go for it!
I'll concentrate on getting the Third Party DriverPacks up to scratch.

Of course not.  It's a netbook!
Netbooks can barely run the OS, forget about running any type of game.

Current version v110312 downloads just fine.

The NVS 280 is an odd duck.  I've only been able to find XP drivers on other sites and like you said, M$ pulled their support through their site.  So if both Nvidia & M$ don't support that card, I think you may be out of luck.  Even if I manage to cobble together a driver (near impossible from an XP driver source), it wouldn't install properly in Vista/Win7 because of their enforced driver signing model and the requirement of the GDDM driver code required.

I'll see what I can do with an up-to-date Win7 driver source.  But there's no guarantee that it will work at all.

Yes, it will work, though it's not recommended unless you swap parts often.  When you add drivers to the install.wim image using DISM, they're permanently added to the hidden C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore directory.  If you add all the DriverPacks, that directory could balloon in size over 5 GB for hardware you don't have.  That's a waste of space if you ask me. 
I personally only add DriverPack Chipset, dpms and DriverPack LAN to my images.  I have a separate SAD disc I use for post install which doesn't clutter your driverstore folder.
