    so, got all the drivers installed, including the UAA High Def Audio Bus (dunno how it works though... Now i have a pci device that i dont know what it is! Any ideas?

    EDIT:: wow.. im an idiot, forgot this step: "Entering XP, the system will discover a new PCI hardware, browse the driver to the "7kim06ww" folder to install the actual SATA driver."

    Problem solved, thanks for your help guys!

    It would be helpful if you would list more information about the device. If it just says PCI Device, try downloading a program called Unknown Devices. It will read the IDs and tell you who makes the card, and some more info that might be helpful. Or, go in to device manager and go to the device's properties. If you look through the Details Tab, you may some information that sheds some light.

    these are the instruction i loosely followed...

    http://www.dellcommunity.com/suppor...hread.id=253132&view=by_date_ascending&page=1

    specifically:

    "
    Step 1: Modify M14330 BIOS setting
    Since XP SP2 installation CD doesn't support SATA HDD at that moment, we need to disable M1330's SATA and set back to ATA mode for entire XP installation:
    1. Boot and press "F2" to enter BIOS setup menu
    2. Onboard Devices -> Flash Cache Module: Change to "Enabled" to "Off"
    3. Onboard Devices -> SATA Opteration: Change from "AHCI" to "ATA"
    4. System -> Boot Sequence: Move "CD/DVD/CD-RW" item up to the top
    5. Press "ESC" and choose "Save/Exit" to save and exit BIOS
    "

    "Step 5: Special handle of SATA driver
    To install Intel 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller driver, execute kim06ww.exe to unpack the driver.
    Run install.com in \PREPARE, it installs a small program in c:\DRIVERS\WIN\IMSM\PREPARE and then run c:\DRIVERS\WIN\IMSM\PREPARE\install.cmd. Reboot the laptop.

    Press "F2" to enter BIOS menu again, enable the "FLASH CACHE MODEL" and change "ATA" to "AHCI", remember to SAVE and exit BIOS. Reboot the laptop again.

    Entering XP, the system will discover a new PCI hardware, browse the driver to the "7kim06ww" folder to install the actual SATA driver.
    "
