The MSI MOBO comes with separate manuals for motherboard setup and SATA controllers.

Read throught the controller setup manuals.

You will need to ensure that Boot sequence is setup in BIOS such that when XP is installed on SATA drive that it will look there first.

Again, all the answers are in your manuals and refer to the specific configuration of controllers, drives and BIOS that is in your computer.

As a general rule with sata drives you need to boot from o/s cd, install
using F6 option to install the sata drivers from floppy, during the
process.Once completed set bios boot order to scisi/sata
