When booting from the XP install CD, follow the on screen instructions regarding what to do if you need to install SATA disks. If I remember correctly, youre to press f6 to initialize this.

You should not use the Maxtor software to install the drive. XP has everything you need to do it. You MAY need the SATA drivers on a floppy, depending on motherboard and which port you are using. Please list the exact motherboard model, hard drive model, and which SATA port you are using.
