I realize my question may not fit here, but perhaps I can get some direction.
I have an older COMPAQ machine, on which I have to run XP PRO. It's for a program that has no linux port, Lytec Medical. I use it to process claims and keep track of my patients. I have an 80 gb drive in this COMPAQ box, and I have my Win XP Pro installation disc. The drive is SATA and the SATA bios shows upon booting, but once the XP disc cycles through it gets to a screen asking for third party drivers. I hit S and then it wants my driver disc, but it will only ask for it in my A: 3.5" floppy drive and won't let me insert it in the cdrom drive. Is this an XP Pro issue, not recognizing anything but the floppy, or is this something else? Anyone have a workaround, so I can get this installed? My boys will run this machine occasionally and I plan to load ubuntu on it as well, after xp installs.
