RE: Disk Unit and XP Problem
You will need to find the driver on the CD or download it.  Either way, you are going to have to get it on a floppy disk first, as that (unfortunately) is the only medium XP setup supports for third party storage drivers.  This type of driver typically comes as an executable you can run on any Windows computer, which prompts you to insert a floppy, formats it and puts the files on it. 

You will then look for a prompt early in the setup process that says something like "Press F6 to load third party storage driver".  You will do that, insert your floppy, then select the correct driver from the list (usually there will be only one choice).

I hope your computer has a floppy drive -- if not, you will need to find one somewhere you can use temporarily.
