First you will need the SATA driver already saved on a memory stick. Now go into the BIOS and change the boot order: put the cd first then the hard disk second, save the new setting and reboot. Put the XP install and reboot again, the install will start. When instructed to input extra drivers plug in the memory stick and point to it. After that don't forget to install all the other drivers from here.
