Go to the Maker of either the computer or the M'Board get the SATA Driver from them for your Make & Model computer/M'Board and XP and then install it by pressing the F6 Key on the first blue screen with the actual SATA Driver copied to the Root of a Floppy and then when requested Insert the Floppy and press enter.

If you need more information we need to know what you have. Unfortunately the SCSI Interface to my Crystal Ball broke last week and they are no longer making them so I have absolutely no idea at all of what hardware you have there. So I am unable to give you any better instructions on how to proceed.

OH Smeg makes an excellent point - you need specific hardware information to know what SATA drivers to install.

So download and install the free utility SIW:

Run SIW and look under Hardware > Motherboard for the controller identification.

With this information, you can download 32-bit Intel drivers from:
