thanks, that is what I kind of suspected.

don't I have to put the files on a floppy so windows xp can install to the SATA drive? The instuctions on the link seem only to work after xp is installed

geaze, maybe I was overcomplicting it. In the past when I installed xp, I always intalled the sata drivers from a floppy. I assumbed it was alsways nessasary

I guess the point is moot anyways. I ended up reinstalling using the imb system recovery feature.
