With problematic driver being included in the installation package you can install Windows XP on your SATA HDD.but.the installation package is on the HDD.
Windows 7 (32-bit) Windows 7 (64-bit) Windows Vista (32-Bit) Windows Vista (64-Bit) Windows XP (32-bit) Windows XP (64-bit).
The files needed are below 32 bit https://mega.co.nz/#!kENkwBSC!Ef3jjR8. 64 bit https://mega.co.nz/#!wFERlCAA!WVXaqFS. 7-zip to extract the files from.
Since it looks like Windows XP will still be hanging around for at least a few more months, I thought I should share one of the cool tricks that I have found when installing it to theses newer Dell computers that have difference mode SATA controllers. Coming from the factory most PCs will come with Vista on it and be have the SATA controller in AHCI mode. Vista has drivers to use the controller in this mode, however Windows XP doesn’t.
