yeah what is the problem in partitioning sata drives? the best choice would be to use 3d party partition progs, like disk director. it's easy and reliable.

partitioning a SATA drive is the same as partitioning any other drive.
I recomend you use something like gparted. It is easy and gui based, but built on a linux boot cd. It is able to do all major and ome minor format types, resize them too, and comes with a comprehensive help file.
From their site: (link below)
"GParted is an industrial-strength package for creating, destroying, resizing, moving, checking and copying partitions, and the filesystems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, copying data residing on hard disks and mirroring one partition with another (disk imaging)"
BEST OF ALL IT IS FREE!

If your sata drives is a fresh drive, you can use fdisk.
If installing winXP, you can use the installer CD to partition.
Already running winXP, use partition magic to partition.

Same way as ATA drives check your Disc (CD) that came with it or go to the MAXTOR,SEGATE etc.site and there is plenty of info.
Take care!
