When you first put the actual hardware in your computer and start it up, there should be a pop-up that asks if you want xp to use default/find it's own software, say no to this and then install the correct stuff.

this is true with any hardware. my advice, if you are unsure, you really shouldn't be messing around inside your PC.
Silence,this is not winXP taking over. you cannot lay this one off on MS :/
