SOURCE: Problem with the Gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3L

Trying to help you, please clarify me if the beeps are short or long ones, or some (how many) shor followed by some (how many) long ones. Don't worry, leaving the computer at "beeping mode" won't hurt it. Sorry for the details but these kind of codes identify if it's a motherboard, or CPU, or memory error.

Waiting clarification, don't hesitate to post.

Thanks and regards

SOURCE: how to change bios setting on GA-F2A55M-DS2 motherboard to install XP

The BIOS should not prevent you from installing Windows XP.
If your hard disk is a SATA hard drive then -
The problem is that XP installation CD does not have a SATA driver, unless you have a SATA drive on a disk etc. and can install the driver when XP asks for a hard drive driver then, XP cannot detect the hard disk and therefore won't install XP. The FIX. Go into the BIOS and disable the SATA drive (enable IDE emulation), this will make XP think it is a IDE/PATA hard disk. Then you can install XP normally. When Windows has been installed then install all the device drivers (including the SATA driver), then shut down and boot up and got into the BIOS and enable the SATA drive.
