dual boot advice

[Tony Alfrey]

Hello;

I need to upgrade my dual-boot box with SuSE and XP (i.e. I need a new 
motherboard).

Currently I have an IDE port for the Windows drive and a SATA controller 
for the linux drives, but most new motherboards have only SATA ports.

There is considerable confusion on the web about installing XP on SATA 
drives, some talk about needing a floppy w/ the SATA driver, some talk 
about disabling AHCI in BIOS before loading XP.

Is there anyone out there that actually knows how to do this properly?

Thanks
