99% sure you got to do it via a floppy, suppose you could reburn an xp disc the the sata drivers included.

You will find out if you need to specify the drivers depending onthe mobo you have and not the actual hard drive.

usually you do! Though you can "slip stream" XP with the drivers or use an USB stick depending on motherboard

the problem isnt with the mobo recognizing the sata drive, the problem is with windows setup recognizing the sata controller on the mobo
