Dear Sharon,
Thank you for your feedback.
Win XP setup is able to detect the Sata HDD (without press F6), but not able
to install if IDE HDD is connected and "in unpartitioned" condition.
Is there any documentation mention in the microsoft website that it is
Windows XP Pro SP 2 limitation (Not able to install Win XP on Sata HDD when
IDE HDD connected)?
I have never looked but there may be an article.
What I related in my previous post was based on practical experiences. I
feel the problem is a combination: XP being less than perfect in its
handling of SATA drives; on the hardware side (out of XP's control) less
than perfect firmware and controller drivers for SATA.
It's a toss of the dice whether you'll run into problems with IDE/SATA mix
during setup. However, if problems arise, disconnecting is the quickest way
around it. Once setup is complete, everything works peachy.
