    Hello guys, when i install windows XP everything goes well
    Then when it goes to install devices, it stops at 34 minutes then it restarts.
    I tryed to install 7 and Vista it's the same. Then i install Linux Ubuntu it installed perfectly with no restarts but i can't play some games in it.
    Can you help me to install XP? please.

    I think you are missing the SATA AHCI drivers.

    Therefore you can either set your SATA devices in the BIOS to legacy instead of AHCI and install XP without AHCI, or use nLite to create an XP installation with the AHCI drivers slipstreamed into it.
