This driver is also older, and doesn't support SATA CD drives (wasn't a problem before VirtualBox 4.0, as before then VirtualBox didn't have virtual SATA CD drives), so I would probably recommend against this method installing to IDE first works absolutely fine, even if it doesn't feel as 'clean' a way of doing things.

drivers work for this, the rest give bluescreens. Method 2: Installing using F6 floppy/integrating using nLite This can be done through the GUI in Settings -> Storage as per normal. Once you have XP installed as per usual, add a SATA controller (you don't have to add a hard disk to it, in fact I'm not even sure if it needs to be there but it definitely works if you do! Perhaps someone else can do some tests on that I've already done enough XP installs in the last few days to last a lifetime.), boot the virtual machine, run the installer, shut down the virutal machine, remove the virtual hard disk from the IDE controller, and add it to the SATA controller. This is pretty simple, and can be done to existing installations. Method 1: Installing using the driver installer after XP installation

The first three columns say what ways you can install the driver (the Ns indicate a bluescreens occurs at ~34 minutes remaining on the installation), and the last column what virtual hardware the driver supports (if you add a virtual CD drive to one of the drivers that doesn't support it, it doesn't bluescreen, it just boots incredibly slowly and hangs before the start menu appears) It would be nice if there was one driver that supported everything and could be installed either way however this isn't the case, so here is a table of what each of the drivers supports:Д¬ode: Select all Expand view Collapse view F6? nLite? Installer? Supports

or you can install it to an IDE drive, install the SATA drivers afterwards, and move the virtual hard disk to a SATA controller.

you can install directly to a SATA drive by giving XP the drivers prior to installation (which can be done by using an F6 floppy or by integrating using nLite, instructions below).

There are two ways you can try install XP with SATA support: If any of these links cease to work, try going to the Intel Download Center and look for Chipsets -> Chipset Software -> Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology. I've only done these tests using Windows XP they may also work on Windows 2003, but I haven't tested that.ДЇirst thing to say: the SATA controller that VirtualBox emulates is the Intel ICH8M AHCI controller.

I've been lurking for a while on these forums (mostly tring to find out how to get SATA support in XP ), anyway the last couple of days I've got round to doing some reasonably comprehensive tests of the different SATA drivers for XP, so I thought I post my findings here, and hopefully make a useful replacement for How to install Windows 2000/XP/2003 guests with SATA support, which is a few years old now.
