Press F6 very early on during the Setup routine and feed it the SATA
drivers. Pay close attention when the XP setup starts, early on at the
bottom of the screen you will see a prompt telling you to press F6 to
install Raid or Mass Storage Device drivers. You have to catch it at
that time or else you will have to reboot and start the setup routine
again. You MUST supply the drivers on a floppy diskette, the setup
program will not accept the drivers from any other media source. The
SATA drivers should be on your motherboard driver CD. Read the
documentation for your mobo or go to the Asus web site and see if the
drivers are available there for download. If you have no diskette drive
you can temporarily fit one to the computer, if not you will have to
slipstream the drivers to a Windows XP cd that you will have to burn.
