Here's the deal. I have a desktop PC that was my main PC - but, it died several months ago. I have my laptop - which has been my primary computing device for quite a while now - but, the desktop PC has some stuff on there that's not on my laptop.
Win XP did not support SATA in the original release - it was added in SP 1. I found that out the hard way when I upgraded my motherboard, adding an SATA DVD drive, and attempted a repair installation from my original CD. Can't access the drive, so can't boot from the CD!
If you don't have SP1 already on your XP CD, that's probably the reason. You bought the SATA after you installed SP1, so it worked.
I ended up buying a VISTA 64-bit and starting over.
