Hi...
I dont think if that will work..
Look at this.. you install Vista and then downgrade to XP?? You think it will work? Nonetheless... try it out... coz I am in the same kind of problem... or maybe... just download sata drivers from the net!

It will work if you make 2 partitions.... or use 2 Hard Drives (Better).

1. First Install XP on Drive C:

2. Install VISTA on Drive D:
