When I re-installed XP on a friends PC, it wanted a driver floppy disk for the SATA controller for the Western Digital Raptor drive he's got (which I had for XP32, but then I put XP64 on and I had to go and find a 64-bit driver which was a pain lol). But when I built my PC with a Maxtor SATA drive, it didn't ask for one at all. He may get lucky lol.

I think that's a good reason. I had Vista on but had too many compatibility issues with apps. Would have lived with it but it was with Visual Studio 2005 Pro which is what I use for my business so Vista had to go.
