Yeah, I understand what you are asking -- because I was wondering the same thing too. Somebody will have to try installing Windows XP SP2 (intergrated) CD on a new computer with SATA drives.
The problem I can't test it is because, even though I tried a low level format of my SATA drive, Windows XP SP1 still detects the hard drive and I am able to install Windows XP. I don't know how that happens. May be something to do with the motherboard?
