Im currently in the process of reinstalling Windows XP on a friends pc, its a xps 400 with a intel motherboard with sata plugs right in the board, unfortunatly theres no floppy drive and it has a sata harddrive that comes up as unreadable during the install, ive been reading up on slipstreaming sata drives onto my XP CD and switching the sata's operations to IDE
im not worried about losing data cause im fresh re-installing, i did come across a possible crash if i just switch operations tho and i wanna avoid that
SATA mode is best.
You need to switch AHCI mode OFF, because Windows XP installation CD does not support AHCI mode even if you have a floppy drive with the proper drivers on disk.
After XP installs, then you can install the latest driver and enable AHCI, NCQ, etc, in the Device Manager.
