Here is an Idea for the tech who wants to convert Vista machines to XP for clients.
Use the adaptor to install XP on a PATA hard drive (in the machine to be converted).
After XP is up and running, install XP drivers for the SATA hard drive.
And then clone the PATA drive to the SATA drive (using a good cloning software)
It may be nessecary to rebuild the MBR from the RC on the cloned machine.
This bypasses the issue of having to use a floppy to install the drivers.
What do you think?
