                    You might have used (or it defaulted) AHCI mode for the SATA interface.  Windows XP does not come with AHCI drivers.  You will probably have a BIOS setting that will change the hardware support to IDE.  You then can install Windows XP then update the drivers, modify the XP registry to use the new drivers/hardware then change the BIOS to AHCI.  I suggest you Google "AHCI" to find the exact steps/ registry values.
Good Luck
