Windows XP on Sabertooth 990FX R2

[cantfigureitout2]

My BIOS is version 0906.
CPU.. FX 8320 3.5Ghz
RAM.. G.Skill 1600Mhz F3-12800CL10D-16
VIDEO.. Asus 2G GTX660

Hi,

I have this problem trying to install Win XP professional on my sabertooth 990fx r2
I am running win 7 on another HDD and it works great.
The problem is trying to setup another HDD with Win XP on it,
I get a bluescreen after the win xp disk is loaded.
I changed in the Bios AHCI to IDE and still had the same problem.
All other drives are disconnected, only the HDD im trying to install win xp on connected.
I get this error message...

stop: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF748E0BF, 0xF78DA208, 0xF78D9F08)
PCI.SYS - ADDRESS F748E0BF base at F7487000, DATESTAMP 3b7d855c

The manual that came with the board says it supports XP.
I don't really want to update the BIOS unless its absolutely necessary.
I have read its because Win XP doesn't have AHCI.
It is getting a bit old and I haven't done a new build in a few years.

These boards have the ability to keep SATA 1-4 on AHCI and change 5-6 to IDE.
Ive tried the DVD-ROM on AHCI and IDE and the HDD on IDE.

Im at a loss, I really want win xp installed on another drive so I can use a couple of other programs because, they wont work on the win 7 xp compatability.


Any help would be appreciated

You have to use nLite for slipstreaming the SATA (F6) driver then install XP from the new CD.

You have to use nLite for slipstreaming the SATA (F6) driver then install XP from the new CD.

I have tried using NLite, I cant seem to get it to boot from the new disc I created, and I used a lot of disc's trying different combinations.
I tried with just my:
original xp disc
xp spk1a / spk2 / spk 3
and slipstreaming the AHCI drivers.
Ive used isobuster and also 7zip to extract before burning to a blank cd-r.
The process seems straight forward in NLite, but for some reason none of the discs I burned will boot.
It just comes up asking to insert the media and hit any key.
First I burned using the standard windows, burn to disc and later I downloaded Nero's latest.
Still no success.
Ive tried setting in the BIOS to both IDE and AHCI.
On the occasion when trying to boot from my original win xp disk, its asking for the controllers (s).
Is there a way I can install from the original win xp disc and then get the controllers off a USB drive stick?
I miss a FLOPPY........
Thanks for the advice mate.

No, you have to use a floppy, but nLite should work.
Are the resulted nLite CDs bootable? Test one of them in a different PC. See if it does boot from it.

After making a ISO Image with nLite, I use BurnCDCC to make a bootable disc.
