Well, chances are that XP will have drivers for some of your devices. The other devices you can get drivers from their manufacturer's websites. Download the User Manual for the PC here: http://support.gateway.com/support/manlib/Desktops/desktop.shtml It might have the brands/models of your components. Or download the free Belarc Advisor program here: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html It will identify some of your hardware too. The trickiest thing will be to find the motherboard chipset drivers, but it may run fine with the generic drivers XP will install. I would even try downloading the Vista chipset drivers and see if they work with XP.
You shouldn't have "any" problem running 2 devices on an IDE cable. I do it all the time. Just be sure to set the jumpers to Master/Slave on the devices. IDE was designed for 2 devices on a cable. Good luck, Donk On 11/10/2010 11:07 AM, kevin19_89 wrote: > gateway gt5464 ------------------------------------ If you have any questions or problems with any aspect of this site, please feel free to contact me directly [email protected] Please do not post personal issues directly to the group.
