Now you are looking for a lot of work. You have to download Nlite and the sata drivers, then slipstreem them both onto a new installation disk. It is quite involved.
You should first check and see if you can activate the IDE function in your bios.
I know you can load your sata raid driver before the xp (clean) installation actually begin. By putting the driver on floppy disk, press F6 when the setup program ask you to press F6 for a third party driver.

I am in college, this would be my second computer (my current laptop is too cumbersome to carry), so it just needs to do Internet, MS Word, and MS Powerpoint, maybe movies when I travel and sometimes iTunes. (I will be buying MS Office and an external cd/dvd drive.)
Would you buy an HP Mini 311 with WIN 7 or Toshiba Satellite T115?

I purchased a Western Digital EIDE 320GB hard to replace existing Toshiba 100GB hard drive. I cloned the old hard drive using Acronis software from Western Digital and when I placed the new hard drive in the laptop (after cloning) and started up computer nothing happens; no errors messages at all, just will not boot to it. I can place the new hard drive in an external case and see all of my files, but cannot boot to it.
