Simple scenario, I am switching from a PATA to a SATA drive. I will be using Acronis True Image to make the image. I anticipate trouble when I first boot up the newly-imaged drive since it does not have SATA drivers loaded. So the question is, is there a way to pre-load them or will XP just auto-detect at startup? Must be so simple, but I am without a clue. Thanks.

Do you have the Sata drivers installed in device manager?

Im going to guess that if the sata ports are connected to the native chipset (Intel or nVidia) there shouldnt be any problems.
