Well, I'm still unable to Install Windows. I imaged the first partition with FreeDOS and XOSL multiboot loader onto a separate partition, repartitioned the drive to increase the size of the first partition, and then tried to install Windows 2000, with the SATA drivers on a floppy. This should have worked, becuase it was installing Windows to the first partition on the drive as it wants. But I had the same results as before... the install loaded the SATA drivers fine on the first pass, but when it rebooted the computer, was back at square one, behaving as if this was the first pass of the install again. It doesn't recognize that it already did this pass.
