If installing xp from an old disk make sure you can get the sata drivers available on
floppy disk. I built my i7 pc and have dual boot to win7 and xp pro. My xp is about 4 year
old and would not install. I had to make a floppy disk and copy the motherboard sata
drivers on it to get xp to install. This invloved me searching through cuboards to find a
3.5" drive to hook up and copy the inf files to. Worked a treat though when done
