Nah, once you've got XP installed it's usually a matter of installing
the proper SATA/AHCI driver (I think in this case it's called Intel
Matrix Storage Driver), rebooting and resetting BIOS to
Native/AHCI/Whatever.
Heh, on the M58 I never got the switch-to-SATA/NATIVE/AHCI-afterwards to work.
The storage driver didn't have a prepare driver, like the R400 had,
and no matter how I tried I couldn't get it to take any of the tricks

I got a
Lenovo M58 today with an Intel MoBo and the trick there was to
disable AHCI in the SATA settings. After that I had no problem booting and
installing with my XP-SP3 CD.
My understanding about going that way was that WRT
Windows, once
non-AHCI, always non-AHCI. Linux was easy. I built support for
everything into the kernel and can change BIOS anytime. I'll be
interested in your experiences as you go forward.
