Ok so i was dual boot mycomputer with vista and windows xp i first install vista and it shows in vista that i have 2 partitions which i was sure the dual boot would be easy. When i put the windows xp cd this is what comes out.

Why does that come out any solutions to it how to fix it?
-
You need to learn how to "slipstream" your hard drive SATA drivers, or use a floppy disc to load the drivers.
-
how do i do that i don't have a floppy drive btw
-
Learn the slipstream method then, and create your own XP disc that has the drivers you need preinstalled. nLite works wonders for this.
-
i am using nlite its really confusing i am confused in the part where it asks me for all those drivers? I mean where do i get them?
here is the picture and the link

you need to make a slipstream of windows xp. you need to put the sata driver of the model of your laptop in windows xp installer. use nlite to copy the whole installer of xp and load the sata driver then burn to cd. sorry for bad english!

Ya i was just checking little by little i am getting there ok now the next question what drivers my model is Acer Aspire 5920G (link http://www.acerpanam.com/flex/acerdrivers/bin/drivers.html?CFID=6750744&CFTOKEN=96796661)
All i would need is the intel sata driver right? -
Thank you so much for the help you guys gave me i wasted all my day but it was worth it and learned some new things xD i finally dual booted my notebook thanks once again
Now i encounter another problem which the cd installs good and it does the whip, but as soon as i go to the install thingy the blue screen with the welcome it comes with an error D:\I386\asms. some file from there missing. I am re downloading windows again i just wanted to ask might that be an error of the cd or maybe another problem that will be hard to fix?
I can't dual boot xp and vista
