Windows Install on Single SATA

[Jack]

I am trying to get windows XP installed on a single SATA drive with my
Intel 925XE motherboard.
I don't want to install RAID (only one drive) nor the Intel application
accelerator.
How can I do this?
All the instructions call for F6 to load the RAID drivers and I cannot
find a SATA driver on the Intel website.

That may be a naming issue. I think Windows might just ask for a driver
for the contoller and the controller happens to be a RAID controller
(that can also be used as non-raid), hence it asks for a driver
for the RAID controller...

Look for SATA drivers for the mainboard.

Did you disable RAID in BIOS setup? Microsoft IDE driver should work.
