Is this the exact error message: "STOP 0x0000008e" error message during Windows XP setup
Note that the other stop code is OX000000050 for this RAM error during XP install.
nothing happend....i need the the SATA drivers before i can do anything. But i cant find them anywhere....
What Sata drivers?
Have a read of those tutorials:
Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP
SATA Drivers - Load in Windows XP Setup on Dual Boot
SATA Drivers - Slipstream into Windows XP CD
There are only 64 bit Win7 and Vista drivers for your SATA controller here: http://support.dell.com/support/down...id=-1&impid=-1
You would need to try to use XP 64 bit and load either of the SATA drivers to see if it will take them at F6 prompt using floppy drive, or slipstream them in.
It is unlikely that hardware this modern will adapt unless you research in depth your SATA controller and find an XP driver which will work, perhaps one which has been modded or built for that reason.
Have you looked into running XP in Virtual Mode?
If it is Intel,download from here, 32bit or 64bit.

Does your HDD selection still remain blank after disconnecting your Windows 7 HDD?
Try it, it might help getting XP installed.
