I think, you have inject sata drivers on your xp installer, please see <a href="http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00758841&dlc=en&lc=en&cc=us">http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00758841&dlc=en&lc=en&cc=us</a> , by the way, how you can know my email address ?<br>

Hello;<br>
<br>
I need to upgrade my dual-boot box with SuSE and XP (i.e. I need a new<br>
motherboard).<br>
<br>
Currently I have an IDE port for the Windows drive and a SATA controller<br>
for the linux drives, but most new motherboards have only SATA ports.<br>
<br>
There is considerable confusion on the web about installing XP on SATA<br>
drives, some talk about needing a floppy w/ the SATA driver, some talk<br>
about disabling AHCI in BIOS before loading XP.<br>
<br>
Is there anyone out there that actually knows how to do this properly?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
