Re: Question about installing Windows XP Home on a SATA drive
You might not even need the drivers. I recently built a new box with SATA (integrated on MB) and didn't need to install any drivers whatsoever.
When you initially boot your windows cd, if you pay attention you will see a message at the bottom saying "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party driver" or something like that. If you boot the windows CD and the setup sees your HD -- you are golden. If not, you will have to press F6 and supply a driver disk.
I'd lay better than even odds that you will be ok without it.
