This is an upgrade install i'm assuming?

 

[Praetor]

Possible but not neccesary

Its letting you know that it may not support the drivers for those to devices find the disks with your drivers and check if you have an xp driver

if not try www.driverguide.com and do a search for the drivers your looking for and look for XP compatable Drivers!

can I continue with the installing or not????

You should be okay ... once you install the OS you can always go back and deal with stuff

yup u should be able to continue with the with the installation, but after you may need to download the relevant windows xp drivers for the various components.

but i think window xp will detected the divice and install the driver automatically for some 'old' device~~
