Hi vioio,
XP does install with SATA drives. Have you been able to delete the partitions from your drive already? If your old installation still works dont forget to make a set of factory restore disks.
Also, you might need to make a change in the BIOS - Windows 8 uses UEFI but XP cant see it. I have never done this so it might be worth researching it more, but here is a site to get you looking in the right place ...

Im not sure if you managed to install Windows 7 or not. If not, what error are you getting when it fails? Also - if you need XP you will need a legal and valid product key.
