Hello Computergeek,
You can get the SATA driver from either your motherboard manufacturer's website, or if it's a OEM store bought computer, from the computer manufacterer's website for that model number.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
Motherboard and oem is same company crapway opps Gateway and all the drivers they have is vista and windows 7 do you think one of these might work? Gateway Support - Drivers & Downloads please let me know what you think. thanks in advance.

I'm sorry Computergeek, but I can't find a SATA driver available for that model either.
If it has Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, or Enterprise installed on it, then you could use Windows XP Mode to have Windows XP installed on a virtual machine in Windows Virtual PC if you like.
Congratulations on the clarity of the guide.
I have some questions, which, I am afraid, will betray my little knowledge about OSs. I apologize beforehand for the imprecise terminology.
I have a laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate installed. I chose this version because of the Windows XP mode, but unfortunately old video games meant for XP which are incompatible with Windows 7 cannot run satisfactorily on the virtual machine. So, I would like to install Windows XP on a partition.
1) I still have the original XP install disk from an old computer of mine, which has been out of order for a long time. Can I use this disk to install XP on my new computer, or will there be some problems? Otherwise, is it possible to use the copy of XP used for the Windows XP mode in Windows 7 for the installation on a partition?
2)My laptop has two internal hard disks, one of which is still empty. Which one of them should I partition, since I think that using an entire one for XP would be excessive?
3) I never set up RAID on my computer, but is it possible that it had been set up by the manufacturer? If so, how can I check?
Thank you for your attention and for any reply.
I have a desktop PC with Win7 64 premium installed,
How would I go about installing XP on an external hdd?
