I'm looking into building a new system and I wanted to go with the Plexstor 712SA with the SATA interface when it occured to me: if you have to add 3rd party SATA drivers for the XP install to recognize the drives, will it be impossible to use a SATA interface CD/DVD drive to even install XP in the first place? Perhaps peripherals are treated differently than hard drives, but at first blush it seems like a chicken and the egg problem.
