Xp home and pro are a different story though, because they don't in fact come with sata drivers. From what I know, the way to install xp onto a system with only sata controllers is to get the drivers for that controller for xp from the manufacturer, and choose the option during xp install that lets you add additional drivers, before xp goes searching for drives, and doing the rest of the install. I do stand to be corrected here though, but that's what I know. Things might have changed for a xp cd with sp3 integrated, but it would surprise me if that's actually the case.
