you need the XP AHCI drivers and you have to supply them via F6 during the install... it will not install without them.

you dont need to install XP to upgrade.... you leave the key blank for win7 when you install... install it once booted to the OS and hope it activates.... if not you can either try the registry hack or just pop the win7 disk in and upgrade win7...
