Putting together a new system, I figured I might as well get SATA drives
(won't be using RAID), but a quick search shows a lot of problems installing
XP...it doesn't recognize the drive when booting from the CD, needs drivers
via floppy, drive disappears later, etc...
Is this to be expected if I get the SATA drives? It will be a clean install
on a new drive; will I need to slap in a floppy drive to install drivers
before I can install XP, and is this one of those things that's likely to be
a source of problems? (if so, it's not worth it to me, I'll stick with
IDE).
