Will Win xp SP2 have native SATA hard drive support?

Will SP2 have native support for SATA drives like the western digital raptor??

I don't have a SATA drive installed, but I do have a controller integrated on the motherboard.
XP SP2 build 2055 did not recognize it on install. When I did a clean install of SP2 build 2082 I had to hit f6 and load the drivers first. If I had a sata drive I could have installed on it after loading the drivers.
So to answer you question. It supports sata as long as you load the drivers on install.

Well I was kinda hoping it would have native support, where windows supplied the drivers. I guess I will have to wait until longhorn comes out!
