5) The drivers compatible for XP can be downloaded from http://www.win-raid.com/t2f23-Intel-RST-RSTe-Drivers-newest-v-WHQL-v-WHQL.html (a page on the WinRaid forums that is maintained by Fernando who keeps a list of (fairly) updated drivers for newer motherboards and a very comprehensive set of instructions). Make sure you download the classical drivers and you may want to look up the model of the motherboard and the southbridge (sometimes manufacturers modify components) to choose the best version(more info on this in the above link).
6) In case you cannot get a hold of the device id for the SATA controller, I have included a table at the end of the document that lists the most common controllers for common intel motherboards.
Creating the Setup:
1) You will want to start with a reliable windows XP setup disc.
...
5) This should allow you to now access the hard drive for the installation of windows XP, any other required drivers may need to be hunted down online (Windows XP versions). NOTE: It is HIGHLY recommended that you do not use a SSD with XP (unless you are willing to set up a third party application to setup scheduled TRIM operations).

(Please note that not all of these ids are verified (especially for the mobile chipsets) but the list should server to narrow down the possibilities in case it is not possible to get the Hardware Ids any other way)
Further Support:
In case of need for further support (for both legacy and windows 7 drivers), the person who maintains the pages on the winRAID forums (Fernando) replies fairly promptly to both new posts on existing threads and messages and should be able to help with any problems running legacy operating systems on newer machines (in terms of missing driver files).
