Install with IDE on BIOS, then switch to AHCI after you ended the XP installation.

IDE to AHCI switch after windows xp installation and AHCI driver installation:

1) Run the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
2) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
3) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
4) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide
5) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
6) Shut down
7) Start up again, but before Windows boots go into the BIOS configuration screens and change the disk mode to "AHCI". Save the new BIOS configuration and restart so that Windows boots.

if it doesn't work, simply switch back to IDe on BIOS and it will boot.

Thnx . I will just use IDE . It doesnot seems much differences. Anyway, I think maybe my Windows XP installation CD is embeded with SATA drives already and your method works.Tnnx again
