No - its XP Pro 64 - and system was Built with the Sata HD - and, it was
actually a Win2000 System - which I upgraded (dual-boot) to XP Pro.

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.
