   If XP install finds hardware it does not have drivers for, it usually asks.   
   Have them handy (A Bios compatible flash drive will help avoid switching CD's)   
      
      
   There is also a F6 option on starting the install that allows 'ADDITIONAL'   
   drivers (I thought that might be for disk and other odd stuff, but you can   
   try)
