so Ive read a lot of older internet articles that say that windows XP doesnt naturally support SATA drives and you have to do a repair install and hit F6 and instert a floppy (I dont even have a floppy drive) to install the SATA drivers. I ghosted my IDE to my SATA drive and it boots, but there are some weird problems i'm having when i boot into the SATA drive. The steps i took to ghost were:

install the SATA drive
install stuff from cd that came with SATA drive
run norton ghost from IDE to the new SATA drive
have Bios boot to SCSI

and like I said, it boots, but with weird issues
for example, some generic windows 32 file thing crashes right when the comp starts (i get the error message)
when i start firefox, the top bar looks like old school internet explorer for a while before switching to what it should look like
I can't play any music

what's going on?
