Answer 1

it could be something with the motherboard in the SATA section.

Answer 2

While you Install XP, There is an option to install SCSI driver..at the time press F6 and insert the SATA Hard disk driver in the floppy. Install the right driver and everything will be fine.

If memory has leakage, there is a possibility of Blue screen.

Answer 3

You need to enter the BIOS and set the "Hard disk boot priority" so that your system looks at the sata controllers first. You would then be able to format and or install to the sata drives.
