Why downgrade to XP? It's a dying OS

Windows XP will never die! 😎 Vista and DX9 gaming seemed like a less than optimal combination, the system isnt fast enough for newish games.
I use Windows XP with most of my systems, only the socket 1366 systems and my i5 notebook runs Windows 7.

Win7 might be a good compromise, if you optimize it somewhat by turning off graphical effects and such. I installed it recently on my main desktop, and I find it makes better use of the computing power I have than XP64 did.

I see no reason at all for using a new OS with a system this old.
The system was built for Windows XP then updated to Vista (free Vista upgrade sticker on the chassi).

There are already a XP licence and a Vista license tied to the motherboard.

You would not believe how much I had to dig around to find and free this system... My storage would benefit from some organization...

It seems you need a plastic drive caddy thingy. It can probably be substituted with cardboard or something similar.

Recently bought a Scaleo-E since the RGB Scart out made me curious. Computer is working great but would like to start fresh by reinstalling OS. Having a hard time finding correct drivers for the hdd. I have even used "Double Driver" to collect all installed drivers and slipstreamed them into an XP MCE 2005 iso. Even tried other install media with lots of SATA/ACHI/RAID drivers. Still the installation can't find any drives. Also unable to find options in the bios to change how HDDs are presented.

Anyone that has had similar problems? Anyone sitting on the actual Scaleo E install media???

Thanks in advance,

PS. Noticed that you are from Sweden as well @Skyscaper. Tried to PM you but unable to as I just recently signed up.
