It's not strickly correct that some machines are vista only. New machines use AHCI to talk to hard drives and this is an additional driver in xp, not native, so you'd need a floppy disk with the drivers and a floppy drive to read it when you install. You may be able to change it from AHCI to IDE in bios, depends on the machine, but AHCI is faster. I have not seen one which you couldn't change.
