Re: Problems with XP
Okay, and hault, first and foremost, from the perspective that i'm looking in at i absolutely MUST ask this question because of past experience...much experience i must say...do you get any messages of any kind when trying to boot from the XP cd? The reason i ask is because if you have a SATA drive sometimes it'll just skip right over the XP install cd. I know mine didn't even recognize it until i went into the BIOS and disabled SATA directly. The only problem, however, is that even when i did that, XP wouldn't recognize alot of the devices i had on my computer. (at least with a dual boot you'll still have internet access to download the required drivers if they don't work...i'm an idiot for not doing that in the first place, cost me weeks of wasted time).
Try that, just going in and disabling SATA in the BIOS (I think it's the third tab over that gives you the option) and see if then it'll recognize it.
God Bless and In Him,
Eric
