Reasons Why I Hate Microsoft
Reason #2 - No SATA support during Windows XP setup.
If you try to install Windows XP on a machine that has ONLY a SATA hard drive, setup will error and complain that it cannot find any hard drives in the machine. To make it go you have to have ANOTHER working PC that you can put the motherboard driver CD into in order to make a FLOPPY DISK that contains drivers that setup needs to be able to access the hard drive.
What's up with that??
