The Toshiba Amilo Li 1818 isn't available through the US portal so I can't point you in the right direction for the drivers. If it is an Intel chipset then it is the Intel Storage Matrix driver that you need to load during Windows setup.

Using XP you need to press F6 during the loading of Windows setup (keep an eye on the bottom of the screen). You'll have to put the drivers on a floppy.

Go in the bios and change the sata settings. Have to do it on the Dells.
