I recently have been trying to setup a dual-boot on my system with Windows XP. I got a BSOD the first time I tried booting from the CD. After doing some research the solution seemed to be to slipstream drivers into the install. I've tried this but can't find drivers that support my chipset. Can it be done or am I out of luck? "Mainboard" tab from CPU-Z attached.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I am a little confused with this part of the "Preconditions":

The S-ATA hdd's have to be connected to one of the Intel S-ATA ports of the mainboard.
Note: Many Intel chipset mainboards have additionally to the Intel SATA ports other SATA ports, which are managed by another on-board SATA Controller (from JMicron, ASMedia or Marvell). Before you continue with your preparations, you should check, if the S-ATA cable of the HDD/SSD, where you want to get the OS and the boot sector installed, is really connected to one of the Intel ports. If it should be connected to any of the non-Intel SATA ports, you have to integrate/load the related special JMicron/ASMedia/Marvell textmode driver instead of the Intel one. Otherwise Windows Setup will not detect your S-ATA connected HDD, SSD or RAID array at all.

How would I go about checking this?

Also,

The Power Management (ACPI) should be enabled within the BIOS.

I'm not sure if I have this option but I will check. If I don't will that turn out to be a problem?

Lastly, which category do I fit into? A, B, or C?

Got it, I checked and it seems to be Intel (VEN_8086), so that's good. I also updated my original post.

Thanks :)

The install was a success. I don't know how I can repay you. Thank you so much!! I've recommended this forum to my friends including gabegriggs1 who has already registered.

Will these same instructions work on Windows 2000?

It seems to work but still fails to recognize some of my hardware. Anyways, XP is what I wanted ;)

Thanks again and have a great week.
