XP SP2 on a SATA drive
Last time I installed XP to an SATA drive was on my old system, a NF7-S. Not having a floppy, I made a slipstreamed CD using nLite to add the SATA drivers.
I just bought a C2D, Asus P5N-E mobo etc. Someone said I will not need to slipstream a new Windows CD, i.e. that the mobo has features to allow Windows XP to detect the SATA drive somehow.
Is this true?

I realize this did not directly address your question.
You will need to slipstream, have a floppy, or have your BIOS put the SATA drives into legacy mode (P5N should be able to, but no promises).
