SATA drivers for WinXP?

Greetings,

I managed to install Windows Pro SP1 on my system fresh on my new SATA Hardrive. I thought I would have to do the F6 while installing Windows and insert the SATA drivers that came with my MSI Neo2 Plat board but it worked without it. I then right away when Windows was done installing... I ran the NVIDIA platform/chipset drivers which I downloaded fresh from the Internet.

Do I need to do anything else for my SATA drive? Do I need to download or install actual SATA drivers or did the latest NVIDIA Platform drivers take care of it? I actually see the SATA controller in my hardware setup so I assume it's all good. Any ideas..

thanks
Bob

You're all set. I just built my first machine with SATA drives and installed WindowsXP with SP2. Instal went smooth.

PS. the drivers that came with the board are for SATA RAID. I got the same board for my new machine.
