Mak-
That sounds good, and that's basically my plan. I don't plan to strip anything from the XP install, and I have no problem using a DVD. I caught a killer sale on newegg a few weeks back of 100 DVD's for a ridiculously low price, so that's quite all right to use them.
Mak, let this jog your brain a little bit. My old system is as follows:
AMD single core 3000+ 1.8GHz Venice
MSI K8n Neo-4 Platinum motherboard
2gb DDR 400 RAM
On that system, I had a 250gb SATA drive (XP and Ubuntu installed on it) and I later upgraded to a 500gb SATA drive, where XP and Ubuntu were also installed on it.
That 500gb SATA drive I spoke about on my old system is the current main hard drive of my new system. So somehow on my old system, I had Ubuntu and XP to work... on the same hard drive... without ANY problems and without ANY configuring whatsoever.
How? If Ubuntu does NOT support IDE Legacy (as I've been reading) yet XP Pro SP2 (by default) doesn't support AHCI, how in the **** did I get it to work?
The hard drive I am using from old system to new system is the same.
The XP installation CD I am using from old system to new system is the same.
Why the problem? Why now?
