Hey all
Apologies for not researching this myself but for the past year I've been too busy to keep up with the pc arms race and have lost track!
Im going to update my cpu/mobo/ram and HDD's as I can virtually break even on the sale of my current components and would like a faster pc for the newer games.
My windows installer disk is an original SP1 jobby with no support for sata I believe?
I junked my FDD so can't make a floppy boot disk.
Can I save SP2+3 and all updates onto current XP disk or create a new one?
Is there another way to load XP onto a sata hdd?
(my current eide disks are'nt a problem but I see most new mobos only have one eide port for optical drives so i might as well get new sata hdd's)
Thanks
Mike
