I think you are too affirmative.
Depends on which board.

If u want RAID then the mobo CD has a program on it
called makedisk.exe. (the name maybe different for different brands
of mobo).
U haveta run this and it'll create RAID drivers for RAID. (U need a floppy).
Then boot from cd install XP press F6, before the XP install/setup screen,
and chuck the floppy in.
BUT if u dont want RAID, then you dont need the drivers.
XP will install on a SATA no prob at all.

As I said below, on MY A8V (BIOS 1008), XP (Original, SP1 slipstreamed or
SP2 Slipstreamed) will not see the VIA SATA conroller, period. I must F6
and provide the driver disk. It always displays the "No suitable hard
drives can be found" or whatever that says screen.
Not sure what might be different.

Well, I have an ASUS motherboard, and there is
no way to have it recognized by WinXp's installation
CD, nor by Ghost 9 bootable CD.
Whatever you say.
Once Windows has been installed and after I choose
SCSI(SATA) as the bootable HD, of course I no
longer need to insert a diskette.
And I DO NOT use RAID.

I just installed XP onto a sata hd hooked as the primary master on a
ASRock P4V88 motherboard (VIA controller). I tried to install XP without
the special drivers and it wouldn't happen. Using the sata drivers on a
floppy I installed XP very nicely. So it probably depends on the
motherboard.

One intersting point... The Ghost 8 (Corp Edition) boot floppies I made
manages to see the VIA SATA controller and the drives. I guess they have
some sort of controller driver in there that takes care of it.
Windows XP is blind to them without the F6/Driver inclusion.
