[CS-FSLUG] Really Odd Computer Behaviour

[Josiah Ritchie]

We run into this at work from time to time. XP is 7 years old so it
predates SATA (so does 2000). Mandriva probably doesn't so you just
have a case where SATA isn't supported on the install media. You have
to make a driver disk for the install on XP or 2000 to inform it of
the new standard or get newer XP discs.
