You need the SATA driver supplied with the mother board and in the bios the
SATAhas to be switched "on", this is what I needed with my Intel Mboard and
now I run my XP from boot on the SATA board without any problems

I am now thinking about installing and trying Linux, is your linux on a
second disk or on dual boot with the XP
