I think message 1. Was a black screen and message 2. a blue screen.
Messages are not exact because I can’t remember:
-------------
1. Can’t find SATA 1 drive. Press F1 to continue or F2 for the Startup menu.
2. Windows could not find a drive to copy files from. Press Enter to reboot.
Anyway, I made the six floppy disks from a download (WindowsXP-KB310994-SP2-Pro-BootDisk-ENU.exe) and eventually got a copy of XP Professional on (at least part of one). I changed the boot sequence and switched to combination SATA and PATA at the startup menu.

Are you getting stuck on the Microsoft blue screen? Please give exact wording. Somebody will help you out step by step.
