If you happen to want to test windows xp setup using a standard setup CD, windows will not find the drives because it has no AHCI support. The standard solution is the F6 floppy method of adding an AHCI driver, but lack of floppy support on new boards makes this method difficult. I use the http://www.nliteos.com/ tool to make a custom setup CD. But this method requires a new custom CD for each chipset.
Have you though of using an USB flash drive, to install Windows from? http://www.windowsvalley.com/install-windows-2000-xp-2003-using-usb-storage-...
