I found out why Windows XP's installer kept BSODing on my motherboard -- it needs a textmode driver for SATA (Weird thing is this happens even when the sata controller is turned off and I'm using IDE, however). The driver must match the chipset used on the southbridge (VIA VT8237); I tried slipstreaming Intel's AHCI drivers and that didn't work.
Problem is, there doesn't seem to be any AHCI drivers for Windows XP for this particular chipset.
Can anyone help me?
Note that there is a RAID driver, but that didn't help.
Also, yes I am using a SATA1 HDD and it is being detected by the BIOS.
