I was wondering if there are any issues I need to be aware of when installing xp on a SATA drive instead of IDE. I feel like I remember reading windows doesn't have built in drivers for SATA but I am not sure if this is still an issue or not. The SATA drive will be connected directly to a motherboard with built in sata. Any advice about the install is apprecaited. Thanks, Rob

Was a non-issue for my recent build. Didn't need to hit the F6 or add any drivers, windows (XP SP2) recognized it right away.
