I have a Windows 8 System in here and I got alot of problems incompatible programs and compatiblity mode does not seem helpful at all. I want to dual boot Windows XP and Windows 8

I have a Windows XP ISO and I used WinToFlash to make my USB bootable. In the BIOS I set Legacy boot mode ( UEFI doesn't support booting from USB ) and I switch my hard drive controller from AHCI to IDE because I heard XP doesn't support AHCI SATA Mode.

When installation starts, I have 3 options: 1. TXT Mode Windows XP setup which I hit first. ( I enter the Windows XP installation and I end up with BSOD ) 2. GUI Mode Windows XP installation ( Goes after TXT installation and ends up with HAL.DLL missing ) 3. Debug HAL.DLL missing file ( I press it and computer freezes. )

I found out that I need to slipstream SATA Driver into my ISO installation using nLite but problem is I cannot find it. VEN_1022 DEV_7801.

Specifications:

AMD E1-2500 APU 1.4 GHz Dual Core Processor
AMD Radeon HD 8240 512 MB Graphics Card
RAM 4GB DDR3
293 GB HDD

What should I do ?
