Hi Im Getting a new pc with a SERIAL ATA II HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE
do i just wack my xp pro cd in and install it as normal or is it more complicated then that somebody told me i need to mess about with a floppy disk and stuff?
 
Yes you need to create a floppy disk with the drivers of the SATA controller.But don't worry,it's very easy if you just follow the instructions of the motherboard's manual.
 
Get a SP2 disc (you know, any disc that's not 3 years old or more) and it will have drivers on the disc, 9 times out of 10.

lol will it work if i DL xp pro with sp2 and use my proper cd key

I was thinking more along the lines of a website that sells the discs for cheap. Like Newegg.com or something. ;)
