I put this in my PCI slot. I then turn on my computer but nothing will boot,
windows won't load, nothing happens it just sits there. Upon removal my PC
functions/boots fine.

I found these instructions here
http://12.24.47.40/al/12/106/10052.htm

but the problem is my Windows XP came preinstalled, so I don't have an XP
installation CD.

Am I SOL? Is there any way I can get this installed? I could really use the
extra IDE ports.

Thanks. Tried it... but the Readme.txt still says "and insert the Windows XP
installation CD." which I don't have. I still try'd it anyways, but
couldn't get it to work.

Do you have directiry named i386 anywhere on your disk? If so, when the new
driver installation asks for the XP CD, point it to this directory
instead....
