Since XP is on its way out, I think this tut may not be appropriate at this point of time and if one searches he can find umpteen tutorials and how tos to slipstream XP SP2 and the the drivers including SATA drivers.And yep as long back as July 2006 I had done this. They have already outlived their utility and with Vista one need not go with this sort of rigmorale since you can load the Sata drivers on your pendrive and feed it into Vista during setup.Not withstanding the many aberrations, Vista does have a lot of good features.
can you read the date of the post ? To give you an idea, the date you mentioned in your post is hilighted. saurav made this post in august 2004, damn you.
