Microsoft does not provide installation/driver support for SATA hard drives in Windows XP. However, there are workarounds for Windows installs. The first two methods assume you have either a spare floppy or IDE drive to use temporarily. If this is not possible, you'll need to slipstream the drivers (see below). Copy the SATA drivers to a floppy disk (these can usually be found on your mainboard support disk. Usually these consist of PIDE/SATA Folders and TXTsetup.oem files.

If you are installing Windows XP on a system where you only have Serial ATA Drives you might encounter a problem where Windows does not seem to detect your Hard Drive and reports "No mass storage device found" during an installation (this occurs in Windows NT and Windows 2000 as well). This is because there are no SATA HD drivers in Windows XP/2K/NT and you need to load 3rd party drivers (just like with many SCSI drives).

The Serial ATA controller cannot be automatically recognized under Windows 2000/XP installation. You will need to install drivers for SATA controller prior to installing Windows 2000/XP. If you do not install the SATA controller drivers, Windows will not recognize the SATA drive. The drivers for SATA controller are available on floppy disks during operating system installation process. If you have CDs only, copy the driver into the floppy disks before attempting to install Windows 2000/XP.

You will need to download a patcher/replacement for the UXTHEME.DLL located in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder as Microsoft only allows digitally signed themes. This patch will remove that restriction. You can find it by performing a Google Search. for themes, you can try ThemesXP (known to have adware) or DevianTart or ThemesWorld. Remember to use only .THEME files, not EXEs as those could be malicious.

Windows 2000 and Windows XP provide their own certified drivers for some EMU10kX-based audio cards.
