No, my boot disk is PATA, it sits on a separate JMicron IDE controller
outside of the ICH. So it is not affected by all these changes in SATA
config.
Other (data) disks are SATA.

Well that probably explains why you're able to boot the system even though
you set the motherboard's BIOS SATA mode to AHCI rather than the default
Disabled mode. As I indicated in my last post, our experience has been that
in an XP environment (at least as it involves Intel-based systems) if the
BIOS SATA mode is set to AHCI the result is an unbootable system. Naturally
this involves situations where the boot drive is a SATA HDD.
