I have a dell xps 720 with 2 sata drive drives. I want to make my xps into a
dual boot system. I want my C drive to have XP Media Center for fun and my D
drive to have XP Pro for work. Every time i try install XP Pro OEM from the
CD, I get a blue screen of death. It does not recognize the disk drives.
Can anyone help me create a dual boot on my xps? thanks

Because you must hit F6 during the install routine and install the SATA
drivers from the floppy provided.
