So...make sure the drive controller setting in the BIOS is set to AHCI.

You are correct...

If you followed the instructions in that document to a "T," then all you need to do is boot from the XP installation disk, sit back, and watch XP install (and follow the other prompts when requested during the installation process).

thank you...Thank You...THANK YOU!

THAT was what was preventing my installation from being 100% successful.
Trying to follow incorrect advice to set BIOS to IDE mode, and then back to AHCI was the problem.

Dual boot is working perfectly. Just need to get Windows XP online and updated as far as possible, and get the hardware drivers updated and I will be good to go.

Thanks again!
Joe

Thank you.

Installiing these helped immensely.

I ran into another problem that may require me to start another topic?

Black screen with no signal input to monitor every time I need to restart PC to complete updates.

Have to press and hold power button, disconnect monitor and PC  power and HDMI cables wait for up to thirty minutes plug everything back in and go again, until next re-start.

You're very welcome.

Yes, I think you should start a new topic because unfortunately, I have no idea why that is happening.

You may also want to google the issue.
