Optiplex 3010 WinXP and Win 7
Hello, I have a optiplex 3010 desktop with 2 SATA hard drives. I would like to install Windows XP on one SATA disk and another SATA has Window 7 on it. I heard about nLite program and try to prepare customized Windows XP installation but I couldn't do that. How to say nLite program to install intel SATA hard disk during installation ? i tried to install pressed F6 key but nothing happened. Also how to know your intel sata storage disk driver???
my knowledge is
1. keep BIOS Sata configuration to AHCI. no need to change to ATA
2. use nLite program to prepare customized WindowsXP installation that will install SATA disk driver. Please explain how to do this??? optiplex 3010 hasn't got floppy disk.
thank you.

Windows XP is reaching End of Life and installation should be avoided:
You should stick with only Windows 7.
If you need to run legacy applications then install Windows XP within VirtualBox.
If however you really want to install Obsolete Windows XP one of the only good reasons to do this opposed to virtualisation would be to connect to legacy hardware. To use nLite see my Windows Reinstallation Guide/nLite: Update your Windows XP Reinstallation CD:
