    The SATA driver is on intel's website, just got to www.intel.com and search for the mobile 965 chipset drivers and one of them should be the SATA drivers for XP, but you will need a usb floppy drive to put the drivers on a floppy disk and when the installation begins press F6 to have XP look at the floppy disk for the SATA drivers. Good Luck!!!.

    :D

    Now we can't find network drivers. Wireless or internal.
