When I last did this, I found XP didn't work with SATA drives in AHCI

It will ... but you have to be careful, if the drives are in AHCI mode
at time of installation, and you have the proper drivers, it works fine,
there's probably a minimum service pack too.

What XP hates is discovering the drives are in the "opposite" mode at
runtime compared to install time.
