help with searching of windows xp 64 bit with SATA drivers

You won't find that anywhere. XP is pre-Sata... so correct drivers will need to be furnished by your MB chipset manufacturer.

Then you will either need to supply those drivers during setup via 3.5 diskette at the F6 option, or create a slipstream disc.
 
thank you for your respond but i have now on my laptop win xp 32 bits and i woder if there any windows xp 64 bit instalation guides
 
For what it's worth, I had a very short experience with installing and using XP 64bit on my Dell laptop. Some user here have had good things to say about it, but I found it frustrating compared to the 32bit version. Personally, if you have a working XP on your machine now, I would recommend sticking with it.
 
I have two old computers that are running SATA hard drives. Windows XP during setup did not see SATA drives. I had to press F6 during the setup to load the SATA drivers from a 3.5" floppy disk.
Computer #1
Motherboard: A7N8X-E Deluxe
SATA support: 2 x SATA 1.0 ports on motherboard
Driver: SATA driver on floppy disk
Computer #2
Motherboard: A7V400-MX
SATA support: Syba SD-VIA-1A2S PCI card. Had 2 x SATA ports on card
Driver: SATA driver on floppy disk

I don't know whether these SATA drivers would work on Windows XP 64-bit since I have never tried it.

Do you really need Windows XP 64-bit? If not then just stick with Windows XP 32-bit. Of course if you don't have a SATA driver then you are out of luck.
 
If you want to install XP 64 with sata drivers loaded in you have to use Nlite. With Nlite you insert the drivers and the sata hard drives will appeal during setup without the need of pressing F6 for the floppy.
