Re: Question about installing Windows XP Home on a SATA drive
[ QUOTE ]
If you are using a RAID, SCSI or SATA controller that is NOT natively supported by Windows, have your floppy ready that contains the appropriate drivers and press F6 when prompted to load the appropriate drivers. The manufacturer of your particular controller will know if your controller has native WinXP support.
If you don't load the appropriate drivers, you won't be able to see/use/access drives connected to those controllers. Pop in the floppy that contains the appropriate drivers. You only have a few seconds, so pay attention with your finger hovering over the F6 key.

Based on this, it looks like all I need to do is make sure I have the correct drivers ready to go on a floppy, then boot to the Windows CD like normal. I then load the SATA drivers when Windows setup asks for them. After this, I should have no trouble, in theory. Is this correct?
