If I may comment here, I do recall recently installing xp on a newer compaq laptop and the issue was not the drivers, but rather I had to disable native sata support in the bios for it to work. I had to do this on several machines and the install went fine. I then installed the sata drivers from the manufacturer after xp was installed.
