Xp installation on new Intel systems

[Gpsii]

Hello,
Told by Novatech that you cannot run XP on there new range of PCs with the latest Intel systems.Because you most have a XP SP3 intall CD and I only have the original XP SP2 CD. Is this correct and if so is their a simple way around this issue.

XP with SP2 will not be able to detect the SATA drives. Also many new systems do not even have XP drivers for their hardware.

This may help you http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Windows-XP-On-SATA-Without-a-Floppy-F6-47807.shtml

Drivers are not quite the issue that people make them out to be. Dell or HP may not have XP drivers on their site, but the chipset manufacturers will almost always have reference drivers available. So find out who makes the chipset and download the reference drivers.
