Hi
I've written a disc so that I can install windows XP and dual boot it with windows 7 which is already installed. I've slipped the drivers for the hard drive (sata) into the installation disc, but when I try to boot from the disc, I get the screen in the attached photo. Is there anyway I can get the CD to boot?
Thanks

It's not the same PC as in the other thread, it's a custom build. And yes I have considered it but I specifically need XP, with access to all of the resources.

Just a thought but could it be, as the hard drive uses SATA connections, which aren't supported by xp natively, could the reason the disc isn't booting because it also uses a SATA connection which is unsupported. Could that be a cause?

Booting from newer UEFI based motherboards is different than booting from the decades old BIOS based motherboards. I don't have enough experience with UEFI to recommend anything, but I do know they are more restictive in what can be booted. That may be why you're having trouble booting from that disc you burned.
The manual likely refers to how you can turn off the restrictions, allowing more flexible booting options.
