Ned to F6 floppy install with AHCI. Or slipstream the drivers.

I use winFLP and most boards do not have floppy drives, so I install in IDE mode and then convert to AHCI.

Google it based on what chipset you are using. Basically it involves reg-editing your storage controller to 0 (msahci, PCIIDE and/or iahci) and then going into device manager and updating the drivers for your storage controller.

Way easier than mucking about with a floppy or nlite.

Google keywords "change XP to ahci after install" +chipset (ICH10, SB750 etc...)
DO NOT use other peoples reg files or else you wont be able to do it yourself later..
