Re: new xp installation and SATA issue?

The dealer's right- No need for additional drivers. Nvidia has implemented
SATA support fantastically for their Mobos.

Hi,
i am about to install windows xp sp2 on my new pc.
motherboard is Asus P5Ld2-Vm (sata support), and hard disk
is WD 160Gb sata-2.
the dealer assures me that i don't have to install (F6 step) anything
regarding the sata controller driver. the pc was tested in lab (with
windows), before delivery, so maybe he's right, but on the other hand i'm
confused with a lot of forum posts and support articles, saying that
Bios recognizes the disk but windows does not, unless the driver
is installed seperately (F6) with a floppy disk.
what's true?
