I just finished installing XP on a K8V with 3 SATA drives. As you know XP requires that you press F6 to install 3rd party mass controller drivers from diskette only. Well it just so happens that the K8V has a problem with most floppy drives and a bios update is required for the floppy drives to work. But you can't update the bios from floppy if the floppy drive isn't working so before you begin you will need a bootable cd-r with an updated bios on it.
