    I just got the answer from another post here. Here's the link:

    Read point 15 onwards from first post which describes installing SATA after installing xp. I tried it on my xp and it works. Didn't try on Vista though.

    Vista is missing a lot of native support at this point because it is a Beta version. I am sure that the support for devices will go up two fold (or more) at the time of release.
