which version of XP and which service pack is on the disk?

i just home and there isnt anyy service packs

 

[Outlander_04]

Enter BIOS and find a setting for AHCI

set this to disable

Fond the setting for Native IDE mode

set this to enable


And then XP should install .
BUT
because its original XP it wont be able to partition and format the entire hard drive . It will only see around 130 Gb .
There is a solution to this problem [ a couple actually ] but slip streaming sp2 onto a new XP DVD is probably the best way
