@ snipe:
This indicates, that the XP installation onto the second drive of your system would have been successful, if the current boot drive would allow the required entries for a dual-boot system.
I suspect, that you had installed Windows 10 in UEFI mode, with the consequence, that the EFI boot sector was not able to support Windows XP.
If I am right, you have to do a fresh install of Win10 in LEGACY mode (creating a Master Boot Record) onto the first disk drive as first step before you are going to restart the XP installation onto the other drive.

It should not be a problem to save the documents on an USB Flash Drive.
Another possibility would be to open your laptop, to unplug the Win10 drive, to install XP onto the second drive in LEGACY mode and at least to reconnect the Win10 drive.
This way you would have an UEFI boot sector on the Win10 drive and an MBR boot sector on the second drive.

Hi

I got XP installed fine, thanks a lot for the driver, another issue though is even from the Bios menu I cannot seem to find anything that boots into XP, it always defaults to either the CD drive or windows 10
Any ideas?

Do you have a real dual-boot system or 2 boot sectors on 2 different drives?
Are you able to join the Boot Menu via F8 or F11?

Ok, like I already have written, the solution would be a real dual-boot system, but this will require a fresh Win10 installation in LEGACY mode.

The easiest way would be to format the drive, where your Win10 is currently installed, to do a fresh install of Win10 in LEGACY mode onto the same drive and then to unify the boot sectors by a tool like EasyBCD.

Hi,
I have decided to scrap windows 10 after I pull my data from that drive. I cannot boot to it as the bootmgr file got messed up but if I use a sata to usb cable, windows 10 on the desktop should be able to let me copy my data off it even though its EFI, The usb worked in XP just as I was about to install its driver. Touch screen works cd drive and trackpad/keyboard works

No ACPI or APM though yet though Id still choose XP anyday.
