Cannot install XP Pro on new 200GB HD

C

Christian

Hello, I just upgraded my computer.

The new one has a 200GB HD.
I understand the requirement of 48-bit LBA/SP1 etc.
The problem is I need to install off of my pre-SP1 install
disk.

Is there anyway I can install XP without resorting to
spliting my drive into two drive letters (Ugh!)?

Is there a way to download a SP1 compatible installer?

Thanks.
