I am just about to install a SATA Hard Drive and just want to know if i will need a SATA driver? The Operating system is XP Professional with SP2 already in it. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Only if your using RAID or/and your using a discreet SATA controller i.e. not native to the motherboard chipset (Silicon image for example).

No other way around :p It IS down to the motherboard AFAIK. Your mobo disk should have some SATA drivers on it anyway however windows will work perfectly with the generic ones.
