Gigabyte GA-8KNXP BIOS F6
Maxtor 6Y080MO SATA HDD is operated trough port0_SB and cannot boot until remapped to IDE Pri. Master. No drivers were loaded by windows XP F6 at startup.
I would like the HDD to operate as a SATA.
Why can't I boot while SATA controller is set to SATA port0?
Where can I find these drivers on my IUCD2.4 CD?

Simple. You boot off the XP CD and when prompted to hit F6 to load the driver, do so. There should be a driver floppy, if not you'll have to extract one from the CD.

Set BIOS to boot off CD first, then SATA.
