    1) Copy your SATA drivers to a floppy disk.

    NOTE: You cannot use a USB flash drive for this.

    2) Press F6 at the first screen.

    I think you misunderstand me. I am trying to make dual boot with win xp and win7 is preinstalled.
    New to site,very nice!


    I am running into a problem trying to add WindowsXP. I get through the partioning OK. But when I try to install WinXP after the intial setup by windows I get a Blue-Screen with the following message:
    Stop: 0X0000007E (0X0000005, 0XF78D1EA0, 0XF78D1B9C)
    acpi.sys-Address F73B9D66 base at F73AE000, Date Stamp 480252b1
    I never get to the actual windows setup.

    I have problem like above. So do I have to choose sata driver for xp or win 7? There is no data drivers in hp websites.Sorry but I am a new bee,May be its very stupid questions but thanks a lot.

    Yes, you will need to download the SATA drivers for Win XP.

    Which Sata controller do you have?
