Can you post the error messages? Also, what service pack do you have installed? I tried your links but no success. Perhaps it was just me though.

the error messages are much and in different formats, please have patience to combine and view the urls but in summary t
he error messages
involve me not having admin privileges(and i do)
and the software i'm trying to install not being able to create folders in drive d: (where i installed xp)

I run service pack 2

Let me re-post your links. The first link had a missing letter at the very end.

Where did you get the drivers you are trying to install?

Do you have a drive C: with Windows OS on it? And another drive D: where you want XP installed ? So you did a Format D: and also made it NTFS?
Do you log on as a 'User', and there is an 'Administrator' also ?
Do you have XP or Vista on a recovery partition at the start of the drive?

If the XP installed ok right through to the desktop, you should be able to connect to a router with CAT5 cable to get all the drivers and MS updates.
Try a program that scans your pc and D/L all drivers you need.
Try 'drivereasy'

Once you have got XP up to date, your other programs should install ok.
