I can't install Windows to the SATA drive. It loads everything it needs, then when it tries to boot, it says the files aren't found. I'm guessing it can't read it without the drivers installed, but how do i do that with no OS? I was thinking of dual booting with linux.

You need to create a floppy that has the SATA controller drivers and then hit F6 during the Windows installation.
