tell me a trick on how to get XP to pull the sata drives off something else.
I'd settle for a usb floppy.
or do you slipstream the sata drivers into an administrative install
folder and make a cd?Comment

i thought about slipstreaming into the xp cd once or twice, but just never got around to doing it (there was nothing wrong with my xp backup cd, plus i'm a lazy person)
i also wanted to add SP2 to it..."What were the things in Gremlins called?" - Karl Pilkington

do it at least once, you'll never get as good an install from the upgrade
route, I did it with SP1 long ago and far away, put off the SP2 one far too long.
W2K was in sp 3 or 4 when MS had to incorporate this procedure, system
administrators trying to run a repair disk with their original W2k cd on
computers upgraded with service packs wouldn't even boot. And when
you PO these guys, bad news!
Typing the run commands was horrible, a friend almost busted a gut when
I was talking to him about it, it was part of his course work, he said
copy and paste!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do'H
