Installing Windows was: speakup is nice

[Cody]

If I may comment here, I do recall recently installing xp on a newer compaq 
laptop and the issue was not the drivers, but rather I had to disable native 
sata support in the bios for it to work. I had to do this on several 
machines and the install went fine. I then installed the sata drivers from 
the manufacturer after xp was installed.
