Yup, adapters are dodgy. However, there's a slight nitpick: XP does support SATA drives, as well as the SATA controllers. It only needs a driver for RAID modes if they are used. SATA is just an evolutionary step in the ATA interface not an entirely new reworking.
i also had the same problem.. i have disconnect my sata drive from an lg notebook because i encounter "a disk error occured press alt+ctrl+del to restart" and i've connected that sata to a pc and also had this recovery cd to boot.. but when i'm at the process of formatting that sata hard drive, an hour or two of loading, it's still at a 0% progress.. pls help me.. thanks a lot!
