    You will have to set your SATA setting to compatible mode in your BIOS or slipstream XP with the SATA driver.

    On a side note, XP 64bit is notorious for poor driver support and I would avoid using this particular OS if possible. If you wish to use XP, stick with the 32bit version. If you require a 64bit OS to utilize 4GB of ram, I'd recommend going with Vista 64bit.
