The main problem 5.0.7 has with modern motherboards is that it doesn't
support native SATA controllers (AHCI). It will work with SATA drives
if the BIOS is set to legacy mode, but that's not an option if you're dual
booting with XP, which works much more efficiently in native AHCI mode.
As of MP5, OSR5 supports SATA/PATA controllers operating in native PCI IDE
mode. You can install in legacy mode, or use a recent wd btld. You are best
off using the current (wd_v3.0) supplement.
