Good luck with installing XP. What they want for XP these days is ludicrious, all to push us towards Vista. (Well, haha MS, I'm jumping ship at the end of the year and going Mac and Linux completely.)
Ahh, I had problems with my XP system a couple months ago. It refused to boot. We yanked out the hard drive, put it in the hubs XP system. Still couldn't see it. I booted up my old low RAM LINUX box with it added to it and after hub compiled a kernel option, LIFE! Yeah! It could see everything on the disk that I wanted. It screeched errors in some Windows only directories, but I was able to save everything I hadn't backed up. YEAH! Love *nix!
