It wasn't so easy as I thought it would be to install the SSD since
windows
XP can't recognize "OCZ SATA2 2.5" SOLID STATE DRIVE".
I also don't have a floppy drive at A: since my new motherboard don't
allow
me to use ancient artifacts anymore.

1. The XP OS install CD should contain SP2 or SP3. There have been
reports
of non-recognition problems affecting SSD drives when the XP OS does not
contain one or the other of those SPs.
2. Ensure you have the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard. That
seems to be another problem affecting non-recognition of SSD drives. Many
motherboard manufacturers have released updated chipset drivers for their
MBs in order to overcome that problem. So check that out.

The XP installation comes with SP3 from MSDNAcademicsAliance and I have
tried
2 separate downloads on 2 discs.
It allways complains about missing functions in the not existing i386
folder
even when I tries to install on a small partition on the old HDD.
The latest chipset for my motherboard is from april 2007.
When I bought and installed the motherboard in january 2009, I got a note
about that they had not written the drivers yet instead of including them
on
the drivers disc.
I can use the SSD from Windows 2000 and Ubuntu without any problem.
Can I install the SSD after windows if I disable it before installing and
takes space from the Windows 2000 partition?
It seems risky since I recently almost lost my Win2K installation after
removing a damaged partition from the old HDD and it may be more than the
SSD
causing the problems with Windows XP.
Since you're able to install the SSD in a Win2K OS it wouldn't appear the
motherboard's chipset is causing your problem. And since you're working with
an XP installation CD that contains SP3 (at least I think that's what you're
working with), the SP issue is obviously not the problem.
Since you're trying to fresh-install the XP OS onto the SSD, have you tried
to do so multiple times with only the SSD connected in your system? It's
always wise to make multiple attempts when the initial fresh-install doesn't
"take".
Assuming it's still no-go, would you have another (non-SSD) HDD at your
disposal and if so, could you try a fresh install of the XP OS onto that
disk? Assuming no problem there, then clone the contents of that drive over
to your SSD and see if that works?
(Other than a single install of a SSD (Intel) in a Vista system (no problem
there), I've had no other experience with these SSDs. The info I previously
provided you with (above) came via a former colleague who has had some
experience with installing and working with these drives.)
