I saw a mention somewhere that XP doesn't support SATA. Not sure how
that can be if I've been running this machine with auxilliary SATA
drives installed on it.


It's correct that XP doesn't support SATA. But that doesn't mean that
you can't use SATA with XP, it means that the support for SATA has to
come from outside of XP.
