Since the motherboard has SATA ports, then its bios should
allow the computer to boot from an SATA hard drive. In bios
setup, verify that SATA is enabled and check for the boot
sequence so that the SATA hard drive is given priority as the
first boot device (or at least ahead of any IDE drive). If
necessary, re-do the repair installation after the machine
has been re-set accordingly.
 
Not true for all motherboards. Some require a diskette to
be loaded at the beginning of MS Install loading.
One has to press F6 when requested.
 
This is wrong! If the motherboard has SATA ports, then the BIOS will
support booting from a SATA drive. However, this does not mean that Windows
will boot correctly. Some SATA ports require a third party driver to be
installed, by pressing F6, during the XP install.
