I included SP3 in my .iso image. My disk that I bought years ago is just SP2. I don't know but my solid state drive got suffocated to the max by a big snake. I was burning the .iso image to disk using ImgBurn and it kept getting hung up at the end. I tried to break the operation and my whole computer slowed down to an absolute crawl.

I had no choice but to remove my drive and replace it with another mechanical drive I had brand new in my closet.

Don't know if I unleashed a worm or virus or I got some freak electrical hang-up but my machine became like quicksand.

I'm up and running again.

That's interesting that you said you were able to install XP using SP3 without the need of a separate SATA Driver.

Maybe I'll try that.
